Question

Payroll liabilities for disability insurance premium

Hi,

We are deducting disability premiums from employee paychecks. These deductions have been set up as a payroll liability, but unlike the other deductions, these don't generate liabilities that can be written as checks. They show up in the Payroll Liabilities register along with all the other liabilities, but unlike, say our SIMPLE IRA deductions, dental deductions or group health deductions, they don't appear in the Payroll Center as a payroll liability. I've opened these from the Payroll Item list and have clicked through the 'edit' dialog. They are almost all the same, except for tax tracking. Even another item with the same tax tracking generates a liability, but not the disability deductions.

Any suggestions?
