Printing a bonus check for a salaried employee.

Thank you for reaching out to the Community, @ALMohr1.

Let me help and provide insight for you to print Bonus checks for your salaried employees in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

To begin with, you'll have to create a separate paycheck for the bonus so it will not be added to their normal salary. To add the Bonus pay type, follow the steps below.

1. Go to Employees, then select Pay Employees.
2. Select Unscheduled Payroll.
3. Verify the pay period end date, and the check date, then select the employee you want to pay.
4. Select Open Paycheck Detail.
5. Remove the Earnings and Other Payroll Items as needed. Regular deductions (retirement, health insurance, child support) may apply to the bonus amount. Consult your tax/financial advisor or the plan advisor for information about these deferrals on bonus paychecks.
6. In Earnings, enter the Bonus item you created in Step 2.
7. In the Rate column, enter the gross amount of the bonus.
8. Adjust federal and/or state withholding taxes as needed.
9. Select Save and Close or Save and Next to continue creating additional bonus paychecks.
