How do I enter an Employer 401K True Up Contribution? I am using QuickBooks Desktop with Enhanced Payroll
I'd be glad to help with your question about recording company contributions, jkmnmom.
Let me share the steps with you on how to set up and enter a 401K contribution in QuickBooks Desktop. Here's how:
More details about setting up retirement plans are shared here: Retirement Plan Catch Up Contributions .
Once done, you can add this item when creating paychecks or create a liability adjustment to record it in QuickBooks Desktop. Although, I would also recommend reaching out to your accountant and ask for additional advice about this.

I have the payroll item for the company contribution already set-up in QuickBooks. My question is how I do a particular entry for a "true up" contribution after year end (we changed our retirement plan to increase the employer contribution). Since this contribution isn't for a particular payroll period (and will be entered after all other payroll liabilities have been paid for the year), I'm not sure how I should enter the contribution so that it is correctly shown in the liability account when I do go to pay it? Also, since it is for calendar year 2021, but won't be paid until 2022, how should it be handled?
Thank you for getting back to us and adding additional information about your concern, @jkmnmom.
