I'm very eager to show you how to add a loan repayment for an employee in QuickBooks Online (QBO), leah-kim-jcinus-.
Let's add a payroll deduction category in QBO Advanced Payroll to start deducting a student loan from your employee's salaries. You can follow the process below on how to do so:
- Go to the Payroll menu and choose Payroll Settings.
- Select Deduction Categories.
- Click Add to create a new deduction category.
- From there, name your new deduction category.
- Choose whether it will be a pre-tax or post-tax deduction. You can reach out to your accountant if you're unsure of what to choose.
- Add an external ID. Then, select the impact on the National Minimum Wage/National Living Wage.
- Hit Save once done.
