How to create a Roth 401k Deduction for employee

This is a Roth 401k contribution, not IRA

Hi there, MPI11550.

Allow me to step in for a moment and provide the information that you're looking for.

The best way to correct the previous pre-tax deferrals would be to edit the payroll checks and replace the incorrect payroll item with the correct one. That said, I'm happy to know that you've already set up the Roth 401(k) payroll item.

With this, we can simply focus on editing their paychecks. Here's how:

1. From the Employees menu, select Employee Center.
2. Select the employee.
3. On the Employee Information section, double-click the paycheck that needs to be edited.
4. Click Paycheck Detail.
5. Select the incorrect payroll item to bring out the drop-down arrow. Click it, then pick the Roth 401(k) payroll item.
   - Just a heads up, make sure to take note of any changes on the employee's net pay. If it decreases, enter an Addition payroll item and the missing amount to bring it back to the original amount. On the other hand, if it increases, then use a Deduction payroll item instead.
6. Click OK, then Save & Close. Repeat these steps for the other paychecks.

Lastly, the reason I recommend taking note of the changes is because you'll need to apply them on the next payroll run. For deductions, add them by using an Addition payroll item, and for additions, deduct them with a Deduction payroll item.

If you need further assistance with this, you can get in touch with the Desktop Payroll Support Team. They can do screen sharing and walk you through the process to give you a better perspective on how this would work. Here's how you can reach them:

1. Click the link to head to the Official Intuit Contact page.
2. Select Basic, Standard & Enhanced.
3. Click Payroll, then View Contact Info.

Keep in touch if there's anything else I can do for you, I want to make sure you're taken care of. Thanks for reaching out, wishing you and your business all the success.
