Hello,
I have my bank linked with QBO.
I have a contractor that we pay child support for. We have his payment EFT’s from Child Support Services and I withhold that amount from his payment. I have the garnishment set up as liability.
Ive read I need to make general ledger for those garnishments and I’ve also read to set up the CS as a Vendor so that it records correctly and that transaction is matched.
What is the proper way to enter, record and match. Please and Thank you.
Hi leamber22,
If the contractor is added a vendor in QuickBooks Online, you can create a bill and allocate it to the liability account for Child Support Garnishment. Let me show you how.
To record the payment:
Once done, you can match the bill payment recorded to the downloaded bank feed.
However, if the contractor is added as an employee, you can add the Child Support Garnishment as a deduction on a pay run.
Here's how:
Once you finalise the pay run, payroll journals will be exported to QuickBooks Online. You can open the payroll journal for you to see where this deduction was allocated to. Then you can match it to your downloaded bank feed or add it is in QuickBooks.
For your reference, you can check on this article: Matching payroll payments in QuickBooks Online.
