I created an event in Single Touch Payroll. But QB added Q2 and Q3 pays together. How do I create an event to only include the pays for Q2? note Q3 pays are complete.

Hi kevinjohndownes,

Are you trying to create and lodge an update event for quarterly reported closely held employees? If yes, here's how to lodge a quarterly pay event via STP.

1. Select Employees from the left menu.
2. Select Reports, then select Single Touch Payroll under ATO Reporting.
3. Select Report closely held employees quarterly.
4. This button only appears for businesses that have finalised pay runs with employees classified as closely held AND are using the quarterly basis reporting method. If closely held employees are being reported on a per pay run basis then this button will not appear. More information on setup can be found here.
5. Select the Financial year and the Quarter you want to report, then select Create.

In the pay event, you will see the accumulated year-to-date amounts up to the last pay date within the quarter being reported in the pay event.
