Employees and payroll

Our employees receive gift cards on their work anniversary dates. I need to record these through payroll so that they are taxed as compensation but we also want to gross up the amount to eliminate the tax burden on the employee. I've researched the "in out" method which allows for the recording of the gift amount but then takes it back out through deduction resulting in a net zero paycheck. In QB Online, this method doesn't seem to allow a gross up option however.I've also read that I could issue a separate bonus check, which would allow me to choose the gross up amount automatically, but as I understand it, I would be issuing an actual payment with this method. Since these gifts are already purchased and given outside of payroll, I don't want to disburse any more funds.So is there a way in QBO to record for tax purposes only, not issue any more wages, and gross up the amount to alleviate the taxes to the employee?
I am trying to set up a child support garnishment for an employee and I do not see a way to limit the deduction to a maximum %. For example I need to deduct $280/week, but I need the maximum to be no more than 65% of the net. I can set the deduction at 65% with a max of $280, but then I only have the options to have that limit be one time, annual or monthly (not per pay period). If I set the deduction at $280 it will not let me set the limit at 65%. What am I doing wrong???
I'm trying to enter student loans as they relate to the CARES act. Under the CARES Act, employers can contribute up to $5,250 toward an employee's student loans from March 27 until December 31, 2020, and the payment is excluded from the employee's income. It is also tax-free for the employer, since it's not subject to payroll taxes up to the contribution threshold. This is a pretty important part of the CARES Act. QB Payroll made other adjustments for the CARES Act. Does the QB Payroll engineering team have any plans to address this by year end or is there a work around solution? My company is trying to participate in this student loan forgiveness benefit. I don't think it's fair to them to say we can't because our payroll provider hasn't addressed the issue. I have tried entering this and the program makes it subject to taxes. There has to be a solution!

Employee cannot access paystubs. Gets a reply that employer is not connected to workforce
Hello, I used to go onto payroll and edit my paychecks as late as Monday morning for a Tuesday Payout date, then a few weeks ago quickbooks changed it and so I couldn't edit it until a smaller window, it was like Friday afternoon. Now they aren't letting me edit them at all??? Payments cover dates from 3/19 - 3/26 and I tried editing the hours for employees Friday, Saturday and Sunday (today). This is not unusual for payroll to randomly change things or have things annoyingly complicated to figure out and I rarely contact support because they aren't a lot of help either, can someone please tell me what is the time/hour I AM allowed to edit payroll paychecks now???

We have 2 people of the household on w-2 payroll. ADP usually charges for $1500 per year for all fees etc. If I were to take over the payroll process, is it worth it? its a fixed payroll with fixed hours bi-weekly. ($400 per 2 wks). How do I convert from ADP to manual process? I know o 941 forms, quarterly etc. Is there videos/guidance I can follow?

Client set up a new state (Ohio) in Payroll Settings. The account number used for unemployment tax was wrong, so the first quarterly filing rejected and the payment wasn't credited. The client is fixing the missing payment and filing directly with the state, but here's the problem: When I try to correct the account number in Payroll Settings, I get the error message " You cannot change the Employer Number for this company because you have enrolled in OH EFT. If you have received a new Employer Number, please contact customer service for assistance." I contacted customer service, and after 40 minutes the rep looking into it, she says they can't fix it because I'm enrolled in EFT. Well, yes that's the problem! And then she said there's nothing she can do. FRUSTRATING. There's no way to delete a state from Payroll Settings that I can see, and I also can't find any information on unenrolling from EFT. I'm hoping someone here can help me with this. Thanks.
The QB support person opened a case and was to get back to me but I never received a follow up.
now I owe penalties and interest when I thought this was taken care of. The IRS wants a check but quickbooks took my money and I'm not sure where it went??

I have posted about this once before but I desperately need help with a direct deposit issue so that I do not lose a good client. My client received a couple of strikes on their account because their bank failed to transfer funds from an operations account to a payroll account before Intuit deducted payroll. I have a signed letter from the client's bank stating the incidents were their fault. I also can show account balances proving the client had the funds at the time of the incidents and has the funds now. My clients payroll is currently severely limited by not being able to process direct deposits but every two weeks and has a low direct deposit limit amount for the company and per employee and contract laborer. I have been told by the client if this issue is not resolved today they are going to swap providers, meaning this is a situation where myself, the client, and Intuit will all lose money. I have submitted a direct deposit limit increase request more than o
I have an audit and I need to pull a report that lists the employee with their hourly rate of pay listed on it. I see how I can add the wages made but I'm not seeing how I can pull a report that includes their hourly rate..
