Need to add bonus to end of year payroll, how to change w-2??

Hello there, @onemorewave1.

 

Welcome to the Community. I'd be happy to help and provide some information about adding a bonus check and your W2 in QuickBooks Online.

 

Let's get this started. First, you'll need to add the bonus pay type to an employee.

 

Here's how:

  1. From the left menu, select Workers, then Employees.
  2. Select the employee's name.
  3. In the Employee details section, select the pencil icon next to Pay.
  4. Select Add additional pay types, then Bonus.
  5. Select Done.

Once done, add the Bonus on a paycheck:

  1. From the left menu, select Workers, then Employees.
  2. Select Run payroll.
  3. Select the employee, then enter the amount in the Bonus field.
  4. Preview and submit payroll.

For more details about this process, please check out this article: Pay employees a bonus paycheck in Online Payroll

 

The bonus will automatically reflect on your W2 form. However, if you have submitted the form already, you can just delete and resubmit the form.

 

That should do it. Feel free to reach back out to me if you have further questions about this concern. Wishing you and your business continued success.
