how to create garnishment deductions from employee's paycheck

You can set up wage garnishments in QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP) using the Other deductions option, @admin362. I'll guide you through the steps.

You can use this option to deduct child support from your employee's paycheck, as there isn't a specific deduction type named Garnishments available in the system.

Before proceeding, you’ll have to decide whether the deduction will be a Flat amount or a Percentage of the gross pay. I recommend consulting a tax professional to ensure compliance with legal requirements and accuracy in deductions.

Here’s how to set this up:

1. Navigate to the Payroll menu and select Employees 
2. Select your preferred employee.
3. In the Deductions and contributions section, click Edit.
4. Click + Add deduction/contribution.
5. From the Deduction/contribution dropdown, select Other deductions.
6. Pick the appropriate type, and then enter descriptions.
7. Complete the necessary details, then click Save and Done.

Once you've set up the wage garnishment, you can proceed with running your payroll.

Additionally, consider generating a payroll report to assist with filling out your tax forms and managing your employees' wages.
