Wages Different on Report

Let me point you in the right direction on your tax concern, aobrist.

If the employee's withholding is included on the report, you'll still count the wages. I also recommend consulting with a tax adviser for guidance on how to handle the situation. 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you'll have to set the tax-exempt option. This is to keep the taxes deducted from the worker's paychecks. 

I'm here to help ensure you can carry out this task in just a few clicks. Here's how:

1. In your company, head to the Payroll menu on the left panel and choose Employees.
2. From the list, click on the employee's name to see more details. 
3. In the Profile tab, go to the Tax withholding section and press the Edit link to open the Add withholdings screen.
4. Go to the Tax exemptions section and choose the correct option.
5. Click OK to keep the changes. 

Here's an article that provides detailed instructions about the process in each payroll version: Exempt your employee from Federal or State Withholding.

Regarding your other concern, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team. One of our specialists will perform a payroll correction to ensure your taxes and forms are in order. 

To obtain the support details:

1. In your company, head to the Help icon in the upper right to display the support window.
2. Choose the Assistant tab and then enter a brief description of your concern in the Type something field.
3. Click the Get help from a human link and type a phrase or keyword in the field. 
4. Press the Continue button to view the support options.
5. Choose Chat to start a conversation and Callback to speak with an agent.

Feel free to save the Payroll hub link in your browser for future use. It contains a list of topics about running payroll, filing forms, and managing your taxes to name a few.
