 I have an employee who I have setup the child support deductions, which are being with held each pay period. I know that by speaking to the agent in the KY child services office, that I as the employer, am required to send a check each month to send the payment for this deduction. When it's with held, where is the monies placed? I see that the amount is removed from my account for the payroll, but then I do not know how to access this money to make the payment.

I have all the steps you'll need to make the child support payment, @Harkins Electrical.

 

The child support will show up in the Pay Taxes & Other Liabilities section once you've created a scheduled tax payment.

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Employees menu at the top to select the Payroll Center.
  2. Select the Pay Liabilities tab and click the Change Payment Method.
  3. Click Benefit & Other Payments and mark the box for Schedule Payments.
  4. From the list, choose child support.
  5. Select Edit, then enter the information.
  6. Click Finish.

 

Then, go back to the Pay Taxes & Other Liabilities section and pay the child support.

 

The following article provides an overview of how to create a payment schedule as well as for instructions on how to pay child support. To view the steps, see the pay a scheduled liability section: Set up and pay scheduled or custom liabilities.

My quetion is the following: 

I created a Payroll Liability Child Support, when I write checks to pay out, I attach the check to the Payroll Liablities Child Support. On my Balance sheet is shows a negative. We take the money of out of  employees payroll check and code also to Payroll Liabilities Child Support. What am I doing wrong?

It's good to see you here in the Community, @Walk With Us.

 

Ideally, the Payroll Liabilities Child Support wouldn't show as negative on the Balance Sheet report. Just to clarify, have you tried following the steps provided in this article: Create a payroll liability check? If you haven't yet, I suggest doing so. Then, share with us how it goes. Any additional information would help us deliver the best resolution to this issue.

Hello Mark!

I have followed the steps to "Creating a payroll liability check". The Wage Garnishment liability still shows as a negative on the Balance Sheet. I run payroll outside of QB so I am having trouble figuring out how to zero the Wage Garnishment on the balance sheet. Thanks in advance!
