You've done nothing wrong. Additional Tax is included Tax  line on the PD7A. It is not reported separately.

I have the exact same issue. my added tax for one employee does not show up in the PD7A.

did the addition by using the TAXES and TD1 button and made sure it was added under box 22 on for the report. is there something I missed? been doing my remitance for the last 3 months and just noticed it.

The Additional Tax is not reported separately - it is added to the Regular Tax and reported in box 22 on the T4.

I agree, the amount shows up in the monthly report and is calculated in the T4.

 

it just does not show up in the PD7A. I verified in the tax deductions and it is not there.

 

this means I have to manually add the extra tax in my report to CRA.

 

any way to modify the PD7A report within QB?

 

thanks!

The Employee Profile>Taxes and TD1 should be set up as below (Screenshot 1). If it is, then the Additional Tax of $25.00 is included in the Tax Deductions (Screenshot 2). It is not reported separately anywhere.

If you are asking about the Other Tax item you created, it will be reported on each paycheque that the Item is used on. You can rsuppress it by making the Tax Item inactive in your Payroll Item list.

 

If you are asking about the Additional Tax, it will not appear anywhere. As I have been saying, Additional Tax is combined with Tax normally deducted and reported rolled into the Tax Deductions on the PD7A.

How do I add additional taxes to be deducted from an employee?

I have an employee who would like an additional 50 per pay period taken off so under additional taxes do I put in $50.00 or do I put in the yearly amount of $1300.00?   (26 payperiods x 50.00)

Hi Lousie56,

 

I know there are often times when employees will request you take additional taxes from their earnings. QuickBooks Desktop makes this simple to do. Let me guide you through the process.

 

To create the additional tax deduction, follow these simple steps:

  1. Go to Employees from the top menu bar.
  2. Select the Employee Centre.
  3. On Employee Profile that you want to add the deduction click the Pencil Icon.
  4. Click on the Payroll Info tab.
  5. Click on Taxes and TD1.
  6. Enter the additional tax to be deducted on each paycheque in the Additional Tax box.
  7. Click OK.

I'm sure you'll have no trouble completing the task. If you do need a helping hand, let me know. Have an amazing day!

Can this amount be a percentage or does it need to be $ figure?

Hi Comp Co.

 

In the default rate and limit section of creating a new deduction in QuickBooks Desktop you have the option to pick either dollar amount or percentage. If you wish it to be percentage you just need to add the percent icon after you enter the amount.

 

If you have any questions let us know and we'd be happy to help.

How do I add additional taxes to be deducted from an employee?

So sorry here, i must be a dunce because i need more clarity lol

I see the deduction for employee D, but not for employee G on my P/R Liabilities Balance Report.  They are both set up the same.  But it shows on employee D's paystub and not on employee G's.  What did i do that created the reporting for one and not the other?  And am i double deducting for employee D?

How do I add additional taxes to be deducted from an employee?

There are several possible reasons why you can see the deduction for employee D and not for employee G, Tabu. Let's go through them together.

To start, you may have already paid the payroll liability for employee G and not for D. To check this, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Employee Menu.
  2. Select Transactions.
  3. Then Choose Liability Cheque.

If you've paid for both of their payroll liability, the other item may be linked to a different account instead of the payroll liabilities account. 

It's also possible that you've added the deduction to employee D but not for employee G when running the payroll. To fix, we can utilize the Adjust Payroll Liability:

  1. Go to the Employee Menu, then select Payroll Liabilities.
  2. Click Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
  3. Select the Data and Effective Date.
  4. Choose the employee G and the amount that should be deducted.
