Question

questions about Alabama Overtime exempt for QB online payroll? Where?

  • January 24, 2024

The  QB Online Payroll  instructions say:


                 "Step 2: Enter the tax-exempt amount in QuickBooks

                 The amounts will flow to the paycheck calculation and will reduce the amount of AL income tax withheld."

 

But where do you enter the tax-exempt amount?  Quick books is a big place.
I did find a place in "preview payroll"  but it does not change the employee pay stub.  Nor does the paycheck list show the non exempt tax amount.

 

Thanks

I'm here to assist you with your questions regarding how to enter your overtime time exemption, @LDO.

 

To begin with, you can manually calculate the tax-exempt pay amount and then enter it into the employee's profile in your QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP) account. However, please note that the tax exemption details will not appear on the paycheck/pay stub. Instead, the paycheck will automatically show the calculation but not the details and the description of the tax exemption. 

 

Here are the steps to manually calculate your tax exemption: 

 

  1. Go to Payroll, then Employees.
  2. Select Run Payroll.
  3. From your employee list, select Actions, then Add tax-exempt pay.
  4. Enter the tax-exempt pay dollar amount.
  5. Select Add.
  6. Repeat steps 3 - 5 for each employee with tax-exempt amounts.

For the tax-exempt calculation, follow the example guide in this article: Set up and track Alabama overtime exemption.

  4. Click Continue
  5. Under the Actions, hit the three dots.
  6. Select Add tax-exempt pay.
  7. Enter the amount then Add.
  8. Repeat steps for your employees with tax-exempt amounts.
