Issue a P60 form in QuickBooks Online Payroll

by Intuit•1• Updated 4 days ago

Learn how to generate a P60 form in QuickBooks Online Payroll. A P60 is a summary of an employee’s pay and tax information for the tax year ending 5th April. Employers must provide a P60 to all employees still working for them at that date. If an employee has multiple jobs, they will receive a separate P60 for each.

This article is for customers who use QuickBooks Online Core, Advanced, or Standard Payroll.

Before you begin

Ensure your final payroll for the tax year is completed and finalised before generating P60s.
The P60 shows the employee's taxable pay and tax paid during their employment with you.
For official guidance, visit the government P60 guide.

Note: A P60 is only issued to employees who are still working for you on 5th April. If an employee left before this date, they should receive a P45 instead.

Follow the steps below to generate a P60 form based on your QuickBooks Online Payroll subscription:

In Core Payroll

To generate a P60 in Payroll Core, follow these steps:

Complete the last payroll of the year:
Ensure the last payroll of the tax year has been run and finalised. The P60 will be generated automatically by the system once this is done.
Go to the payroll section:
From the Dashboard, navigate to the Payroll section.
Select the employee:
Under the Employees tab, choose the specific employee for whom you want to generate the P60.
Select the document:
Select Documents, then select P60 to generate the form for that employee.

Important notes:

Ensure all payroll records for the tax year have been processed and finalised before generating P60s.
P60s are only generated for employees who have worked a full year with you, including any necessary adjustments for taxes and national insurance.

In Advanced Payroll

Here's how you can view the P60 forms before publishing them once you complete your final payroll of the tax year.

Go to Payroll and select Payroll.
Select the Reports tab.
Select P60 End of Year Certificates.
Choose the correct Financial Year from the dropdown list.
Select Show P60 certificates.
Select Actions.
Choose to Publish or Download the P60 form.

In Standard Payroll

Once you've completed your final payroll, you'll have the option download the P60 forms. Alternatively, you can retrieve the P60 from the employee's Document page. To do this:

Go to the Payroll menu.
Select the employee you want to get the P60 for.
Click the Documents tab.

Pro Tip: Invite your employee to QuickBooks Workforce. This lets them access their payslips and P60 forms from anywhere and at any time.
