Families of a preschool have made monetary donations to the school's PayPal account, which is to be used as gifts to the preschool teachers. The families have asked the preschool to distribute the money collected as monetary gifts (about $50 each) to the teachers via checks. Is it possible for the school to do this without having to tax the monetary gifts? The money collected is just passing through, and the checks written will not be used as tax deductions. Any insight is greatly appreciated!

I'm here to help you how to manage the gifts to your employees, TeresaMHill.
In QuickBooks Online, reimbursement and non-taxable per diem are the pay types that are exempt from tax deductions. You can it one of them on the employee's profile if you want to report this on your payroll.
Let me show you how:
Once the item is added, you can assign this to another employee. After assigning it, check your accounting preferences to ensure it is posted in the correct accounts for exporting purposes.
Then, you can start running your payroll and pay employees.
If you don't want to report this payment to your payroll, you can create a non-taxable donation item. Then, use it when you write a check for your employees.
Upon sharing this, I still recommend consulting your accountant for specific instructions. This is to ensure you have accurate records on your book.

Thanks for the info! It sounds like it will be best to run it outside of payroll, since it is not a reimbursement or per diem. Thanks again for the help!
