How do I record non cash benefits in payroll for an employee?

Hi valeriemclay-gma,

Welcome to Community!  QuickBooks Online Payroll provides the option to add benefits, that will automatically calculate tax and ensure a positive outcome on the associated payroll forms.  I'd be happy to provide more information, so you can accomplish your goals in a timely fashion!

To get started, you'll need to set up the payroll item.  and choose how it will be paid to the employee.  For your reference, here's a valuable guide to assist with the process.  Should you require additional assistance, I suggest speaking with an accounting professional.  If you don't have an accountant, we can help you locate a ProAdvisor in your local area.

Feel free to touch base with us again, if you have any other questions.  We would be glad to help!
