Can you deduct more taxes

Good day, @ike-zagha.

 

If your employee requests an additional amount to be withheld from each paycheck, then you can enter an extra withholding for them. 

 

Your employees must specify a filing status and their number of withholding allowances on Form W–4. They cannot specify only a dollar amount of withholding. For more info, you can check out this link: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/tax-withholding-how-to-get-it-right

 

Here's how you can enter an additional amount for the Federal Income Tax:

 

  1. On the left panel, click Employees.
  2. Select the employee's name and click the pencil icon next to Pay.
  3. Under "What are employee's withholdings?", click the pencil icon to edit.
  4. In the Federal withholding section, enter the additional amount in the Extra withholding (Step 4c) section.
  5. Save.

Additionally, you can run some payroll reports in QuickBooks. This way, you can get a closer look at your business's finances and view useful information about your business and employees.
