How do I change an employees federal payroll deduction?

Hello, actionlifts.

 

There are two ways to change an employee's federal payroll deduction. You can do it before submitting payroll and after creating the paycheck. I'll show you the step-by-step process. 

 

Before submitting payroll: 

 

  1. Click the Run payroll button in the Employees page.
  2. Enter the number of hours the employee has worked.
  3. Click the Pencil icon beside Total pay.
  4. Expand the Employee taxes section.
  5. Change the Federal Income Tax amount.
  6. Once done, click OK.

Proceed with the payroll as you normally would. 

 

After running payroll:

 

  1. Go to the Employees page, then click the Paycheck list link.
  2. Select the paycheck you want to edit.
  3. Under the Employee taxes section, change the Federal Income Tax amount.
  4. Click OK
