I have added an item of expenses, i.e. mileage, but the calculation of the net pay amount is not included the expenses. How to correct this?

Hello @leona-bovett,

 

You can set up a deduction category to correct your net pay. Let me walk you through how.

 

  1. Go to Payroll Settings, then Deduction Categories.
  2. Select Add. There will already be two deduction categories for you (Pre-Tax Deduction and Post-Tax Deduction). You can edit any of these by selecting the name of the deduction category.
  3. Type a name for the deduction category. Then, choose pre tax or post tax deduction.
  4. Add an external ID and the NMW/NLW Calculation Impact as required.
  5. Click Save.

With these steps, you'll be able to include the expenses to your net amount. For details about the setup, please see this article at this link here: Setting up deductions in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.
