Question

Our employees work varied hours.... can I use Auto Payroll?

Is there anyway I can manually enter hours but still use automated automatic payroll to pay my taxes and send out W-2s?  
 
I can not have "set hours" as our employees work varied hours and overtime each week.  But I still want QB to auto pay taxes and mail out W2s.

Thanks

Hello, LDO.

 

Yes, that is possible. You can manually enter their payroll hours while the automatic taxes and forms feature is enabled. It will save time as we will take care of your federal, state, and local payroll taxes and ensure compliance. Please make sure the automatic tax payments and form filings is activated.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, and select Payroll Settings.
  2. Click the Taxes and forms section.
  3. Select the Automate taxes and forms checkbox.

 

For your reference, you can read this article for more details: Manage automatic tax payments and form filings.

 

In addition, I've added this resource to guide you in processing payroll: Create and run your payroll.

 

You're welcome to post again if you have follow-up questions about payroll processes. Have a great day.
