Employees and payroll
Recently active
My employee's wages are calculated on the OQ form, but she is exempt for the tax. Should I still count her wages on the report? If not, how do I change the report. It's taxing her wages, but she's supposed to be exempt from the tax.

The state provides funding for small businesses for approved continuing ed courses. I was approved to receive such funding for a course. I paid for the course, attended the course, submitted the paperwork, and eventually was reimbursed by the state for the full cost. How do I record this? It's not technically income.

We are needing a work around in QPO for Bonus and Commission checks paid through payroll. Many of our employees have voluntary deductions for health care premiums, AFLAC, etc. that does not need to come out of a bonus or commission check from the company. It is understood that deductions such as taxes, 401K, Simple Ira, Child Support etc. are must be taken out of every check, but the extra 'fluff' should be optional. We do not wish the Bonus/Commission to be included with a regular paycheck due to complaints of the taxation being much greater. As of now, having to remove the deductions from each employee's setup for the check and re-entering them before the next payroll is very time consuming. With a bonus that is an unscheduled 'surprise', surely there can be a way made to 'choose' not to include the voluntary deductions from that check since they are fully taken care of in the regular payroll cycle. Please help!
How does Quickbooks handles the 50+ Catch-Up Contributions? My understanding is as follows:1. The employee MUST have two payroll items: 401(k) item AND a 50+ Catch-up contribution item.2. The Catch-up contribution will ONLY activate when the employee hits the 401(k) limit Could you confirm if my understanding is correct, please? I've been reading different blog posts about the topic, but it's not yet clear how the system works. Your help is greatly appreciated! My recap about the post I've read is below: Blog 1 (2018): Admin needs to delete the 401k deduction item for the employee so that they can create the 401k catch-up item. [This method differs from the more updated post]Link blog 1: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/install/how-do-you-change-the-annual-maximum-on-the-401k-deduction-from/00/192210 Blog 2 (2020): The 50 year+ old employee MUST have an additional payroll item. The admin should set up 401(k) Catch-up i
I am using QBO + QBO Payroll. We have a 401k retirement plan. During each payroll cycle, the employee's contribution is tracked in a payroll liabilities account ("employee contribution liability"), and the company match is tracked as a payroll expense ("company contribution expense"). The 401k administration debits the full amount of both of those in a single transaction. When the bank transaction shows up in QBO banking, how do I categorize it? If it were 2 separate transactions, 1 would go into the liabilities account to offset the liability, and the other should match to the existing expense transaction. However, QBO doesn't allow these separately when splitting the transaction.
We are contractors who operate and reside in Massachusetts, but do some work in New York.
We pay our employees a per diem when work requires them to be out of town overnight. We pay this in advance, usually in cash (from petty cash) but also occasionally by check.In the past, these checks and payments were recorded as expenses or vendor checks, charged to a per diem account under Cost of Goods Sold.The transactions were done selecting the employee as the payee. Questions:- is there a problem with doing it this way? - as per diem is non-taxable, how is doing it through payroll better/different?- should the employees be set up as vendors instead of using the employee name that shows in the drop-down under "payee"?
Does anyone have any experience with union deductions? My company hires all union employees (besides office staff) and they have a yearly set pay amount with a set list of certain deductions and contributions from the paycheck. Usually we change the rates and deductions yearly, but this year we have some projects from last year that are getting wrapped up. Per union guidelines, you can leave 2022 rates/deductions/contributions for those projects for up to 24 months. At the same time you will have newer projects acquired in 2023 that will need to have the 2023 rates/deductions/contributions taken out. I am newer to the company and new to union rules. Looking at how the 2022 deductions are setup it seems like it goes by gross pay and hours. Is there a limit to how many deductions you can enter? How do you keep the hours for the older projects separate from the newer projects and also, how will the deductions come from those hours? I am worried the total hours for everythi
My Tax preparer has requested copies of forms W3, 940 for each quarter and Form De9.
Hey!I want to use QuickBooks Payroll and I have some foreign based employees whom I pay every week, I need to know How much Quickbooks Payroll charges for every such transaction involving payments to foreign based employees?

Good afternoon. While assisting another QB user, I noticed that two new employees were incorrectly configured in the federal taxes - Federal Unemployment Tax (Company Paid). The check box WAS selected, when it should have not been selected. A payroll as been run with the incorrect configuration and now has small balance of payroll taxes (liabilities) for Federal Unemployment Tax showing as outstanding. I have since unchecked the Federal Unemployment Tax (Company Paid) selection for the employees, but how do I adjust the FUTA tax liability to zero it out as the organization does not pay FUTA. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks - Tim
The employee is due money due to overpayment of health insurance deduction from employer.
I have gone through many of the community topics regarding manual payroll. My problem is that the manual payroll button is not accessible. It's on my screen, but I cannot select it. I've tried updating and still having issues
Every time I run a P/R update the Summarize P/R data file in excel reverts to a file that includes sample data. Contacted QB twice about it. I know how to make it work but should not have to regenerate the file every time an update is completed. I was on QB Desktop Pro 2022 and this morning updated to QB Desktop Pro 2023 and still have the same issue. Also, does anyone know when forms will be updated? Currently 2022 form are pulling and I need to run the Q1 2023 forms (941, FL & GA unemployment, etc.)
My payroll summary is correct until I have to break it down by class. I've spent countless hours on the phone with 'QB Support', which is a complete joke. This report has been fine for YEARS up until April. When I run a payroll summary for our entire organization, everything is correct. but when I try to break it down by class, it suddenly pulls up gross pay, agp & net pay all as the SAME AMOUNT. We have over 16 locations & each location needs to be accurate in this report. Does anyone have any clue what it can possibly be???? My quarterly reports were due APRIL 30th & continue to be LATE bc QB can't & WON'T attempt to fix this issue. I need to be able to break this report down by CLASS. We have almost 200 employees, so manually doing this with each paycheck is NOT an option. We pay for QB to save time. And it is doing nothing but wasting it. No one can seem to figure out what is wrong. We have verified our data, rebuilt our data, updated everything, screen shared with
Example - big job (better word) with 3 grants to complete. Each grant has its own class, would it be better to create the job as the class and then have a project for each grantor that points to the class? I want to use time tracking for jobs also.
Employers are required to deduct 0.45% from employees and pay 0.45% out of pocket for this new program. How can we do this through QB payroll?
On the last call they had me email copies of the state tax notices to the "tax notice resolution" department. BUT, I'm sure they will do nothing to fix the technical problems with QB. Where do I go now?
I'm new to using Quickbooks Desktop Payroll direct deposit and understand there is a 2 business day processing time. Our upcoming pay period ends on Friday, 6/30 and is paid on Wednesday 07/05. July 4th is a federal banking holiday, so when do I need to send payroll in order for my employees to be paid on time? If I need to send it before the pay period ends, what does that process look like for hourly employees? Thanks!
This morning I could click on +New, and get the weekly timesheet option. Today after lunch it's gone and only the single time entry is available. Anyone know what happened to the weekly timesheets?
