I gave an employee a bonus check directly and not through payroll. Any ideas on how to capture that in QB payroll since it is taxable income to the employee?

We can create an Unscheduled check, nelmsjared-gmail.

Just a heads up, this only applies for the current pay period all the way back to pay periods dating 6 months ago. Let me guide you how:

1. From the Payroll tab, select  Employees.
2. Select Run payroll.
3. Locate the employee you want to pay, and then click Create another check.
4. Enter the paycheck details.
5. Confirm the pay period and check date.
6. Select Preview Payroll, and then select Submit payroll.
7. Click Finish payroll.

Also,  when you're ready to pay and file taxes, you can check these guides: 

• Pay payroll taxes electronically or manually
• Prepare for payroll tax setup

Get in touch with me if ever my assistance is in need when preparing the taxes. Keep safe!
