How do I indicate that QB should deduct additional catch up contributions for 2 employees over age 60

Hello Mary,
 

Allow me to clarify and assist you with your query.
 

Before we proceed, please know that QuickBooks doesn't allow multiple catch-up setups for an employee. The system displays the annual maximum of $31k because it accounts for a previous catch-up contribution made before your employee turned 60.
 

To make changes, you'll need to remove the existing setup and create a new one for the employee. Before doing so, I recommend verifying the employee's W-2 to confirm that they have reached the age of 60.
 

Here’s how you can update the setup:
 

1. Navigate to Payroll, then click Employees.
2. Select your employee.
3. From Deductions and Contributions, click +Add deduction/contribution.
4. For the deduction/contribution type, choose 401(k) Catch-Up.
5. In the description field, you can label this as "401(k) Catch-Up for Ages 60-63."
6. Fill out all required details, then click Save.
