I converted to QB online. My Simple IRA payroll deduction is coming out post-tax and not pre-tax. I used the built-in QB Simple IRA deduction. How do I make it pre-tax?

Hello, @ssmith-newcastle.

I'm here to guide you to get the best help available in handling your tax deductions in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

To make Simple IRA contributions pre-tax in QBO, you need to ensure that the deduction types are set up correctly. Moreover, you can set up pre-tax items in your QuickBooks Online Payroll by editing a retirement plan. Here's how:

1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
2. Select your employee.
3. From Deductions & contributions, select Start or Edit.
4. Select Edit next to the deduction/contribution you want to modify, then make your updates. 
5. When finished, select Save, then Done.

Furthermore, you can also check what items that move over to QuickBooks Online. I'd also recommend consulting with a tax adviser or accountant for further guidance. This way, we'll ensure the accuracy of your accounts after recording this.
