Thank you for reaching out, JRConstructionandPainting.
 
In QuickBooks, wage codes, also known as Pay Types, categorize different types of pay and deductions on employee paychecks. These codes ensure that the right taxes are applied and payments are accurately reported.
 
It’s worth noting that wage codes are only available in QuickBooks Desktop. Unfortunately, QuickBooks Online doesn’t have this feature, so you’d need to track wage-related details manually, including deductions and adjustments.
 
If you’re dealing with a specific deduction or adjustment, we recommend consulting your accountant or payroll specialist. They can provide tailored guidance to set things up correctly and ensure compliance with reporting requirements.
 
As always, feel free to reach out if you have additional questions. We’re happy to help.
