If an employee wants to have straight 30% federal tax withheld from all paychecks - how do you set that up in Core Payroll system?

I'll show you how to set up the federal tax, bwelninski-dupag.

To start, let's manually calculate the 30% withheld tax. Once you get the correct amount, we can enter it in QuickBooks.

Before proceeding, you'll have to ensure your W-4 is updated. Then, use the IRS Estimator to check if the tax withholding is correct.

After that, we can now enter the amount in your employee's profile. Here's how:

1. From the Payroll menu, click Employees.
2. Locate and click the name of the employee.
3. Hover your mouse to What are [employee's name] withholdings?.
4. Click the pencil icon.
5. On the Add withholdings page, enter the amount.
6. Select Save, then Done.

For your visual reference, I've attached some screenshots below.

I'd also suggest running the Payroll Detail Review report to check the amounts per employee.

1. Click the Reports tab at the top menu bar.
2. Select Employees & Payroll.
3. Click Payroll Detail Review.
