I'm trying to set up a payroll item for a company contribution to a pension plan that I want to appear in box 52 on employee's T4. When setting up the payroll item, box 52 is not available. Help?

I don't know how on earth that "Mileage Reimbursement...." came up as the subject of my question!  I did not type that phrase anywhere.

Hi rsteeves,

 

Great question. Thanks for clarifying that the mileage bit seems to have added itself to your question. I'll have my team check into that kind of thing and focus on Box 52 and how to deal with that in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Setting up payroll items can help with keeping things nice and simple, especially when it comes to filling out T4s come tax time. As you've seen, many of the boxes can have payroll items created for them in the program, but in this case, Box 52, being an adjustment item, is not included. That means manually making note of the figure for that box outside of the program and entering it onto the T4 when you're preparing it. Learn more about the process here: T4 and Relevé-1 forms

 

I hope that helps explain it! If you'd like to submit feedback about this, feel free to send your thoughts to our product development team by going to Help in the top menu bar and choosing Send Feedback Online.

 

Let me know if you have more questions.

    Thanks for your reply Laura.  I guess I was trying to get it all set up properly now, so that I don't have to worry that I'll forget to make the adjustment to Box 52 when preparing T4's many, many months from now.  If you do find a solution to this, I would really appreciate hearing about it.  We prepare T4's for many different companies, so anything I can do now to help make the process easier in February is one less thing to worry about!

    I hear what you're saying! The less we have to worry about, the better. If I come across a solution, I'll track down this post and let you know. Also, some other members here in the QuickBooks community might have workarounds they've been using that they can tell you about. People are great about sharing in this environment and helping each other achieve their goals. :)
