When I added the additional tax deduction it does not show up on the PD7A.  What have I done wrong?

You've done nothing wrong. Additional Tax is included Tax  line on the PD7A. It is not reported separately.

    I have an employee who would like an additional 50 per pay period taken off so under additional taxes do I put in $50.00 or do I put in the yearly amount of $1300.00?   (26 payperiods x 50.00)

    Hi Lousie56,

     

    I know there are often times when employees will request you take additional taxes from their earnings. QuickBooks Desktop makes this simple to do. Let me guide you through the process.

     

    To create the additional tax deduction, follow these simple steps:

    1. Go to Employees from the top menu bar.
    2. Select the Employee Centre.
    3. On Employee Profile that you want to add the deduction click the Pencil Icon.
    4. Click on the Payroll Info tab.
    5. Click on Taxes and TD1.
    6. Enter the additional tax to be deducted on each paycheque in the Additional Tax box.
    7. Click OK.

    I'm sure you'll have no trouble completing the task. If you do need a helping hand, let me know. Have an amazing day!

      So sorry here, i must be a dunce because i need more clarity lol

      I see the deduction for employee D, but not for employee G on my P/R Liabilities Balance Report.  They are both set up the same.  But it shows on employee D's paystub and not on employee G's.  What did i do that created the reporting for one and not the other?  And am i double deducting for employee D?

      There are several possible reasons why you can see the deduction for employee D and not for employee G, Tabu. Let's go through them together.

      To start, you may have already paid the payroll liability for employee G and not for D. To check this, please follow these steps:

      1. Go to the Employee Menu.
      2. Select Transactions.
      3. Then Choose Liability Cheque.

      If you've paid for both of their payroll liability, the other item may be linked to a different account instead of the payroll liabilities account. 

      It's also possible that you've added the deduction to employee D but not for employee G when running the payroll. To fix, we can utilize the Adjust Payroll Liability:

      1. Go to the Employee Menu, then select Payroll Liabilities.
      2. Click Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
      3. Select the Data and Effective Date.
      4. Choose the employee G and the amount that should be deducted.
