Are my court orders set-up correctly in QuickBooks Advanced Payroll?

I have set-up the deduction in the employee record through the pay run inclusion tab, which operates the deduction on the employees pay run.  Furthermore, I have also set-up an expense account through Payroll Settings ˃ Pay Run Settings ˃ Expense Categories to set-up the agency account the deduction needs to be paid to.  I have then gone back into the Employee Record ˃ Pay Run Inclusions ˃ (Add) Expense account and added the agency account and other details required.  This has also been actioned with the help of QB Support.

I have spent numerous amount of hours with support and

I appreciate the detailed information, Michael_RBCS. It helped me understand your concern.

 

It looks like you're in the right direction with setting up court orders and expense account. Let me share some articles to better guide you:

The court order item and expense account will link once you set up the account correctly in the deduction's settings.

 

Regarding the recording of payment, I'd suggest reaching out to our customer care support. I know you've called in before. However, an agent can guide you with the right steps for paying five orders/agencies. Here's how:

  1. Click Help inside QuickBooks Online.
  2. Select Contact Us.
  3. Enter "Court orders payment recording" in the description field, then click Let's talk.
