How do I set up a Direct Earnings attachment for an employee in Quickbooks online?

I'm using Advanced payrol but when i go to the deductions screen as per the link it doesn't give me the option to choose a POST tax or Court Order?

Can anyone help?

Thanks Donna

Hello, @DON111.

The option should be available for the QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll users. Since it doesn't give you an option to select Post-Tax Deduction, I encourage reaching out to our Support Team. This way, they'll be able to review and check the option for you.

To contact support:

1. From the Help menu, select Contact us.
2. Type-in a short description of your concern under the What can we help you with? section.
3. Click on Let's talk.
4. Choose a way to connect with a representative.

In case you need tips and related links while working with QuickBooks in the future, feel free to read our help articles.

Post again if you have any other questions. I'm always here to help. Have a good day!

So how do you record a DEA in Payroll standard?

Hi Carly8, you can create a deduction of earnings for this by going to the employee > Actions > Deductions > Select the + icon > After-tax deduction - please note the Standard payroll is only able to create post-tax deductions, a pre-tax deduction would require upgrading to the Advanced payroll. 

Thanks :)
