I am trying to set up a wage garnishment on QuickBooks Desktop and have followed the directions, but I can't find a way to have the minimum exemption calculated into the mix.  It is set to take 25% of net, but it needs to be 25% of net OR not more than what would leave the employee with $545.  I see in the Q&A there's a way in QBO to do this... has this been left off QBD or am I missing something?

Hello there, @Chehalem Ridge.

 

Currently, we're unable the minimum exemption included with the wage garnishment calculation in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Additionally, QuickBooks Desktop has a payroll tax wage limit, while QuickBooks Online has a maximum and actual amount. Check this link for more information: Understand payroll tax wage bases and limits.
