Health insurance premium rebate

Welcome to the Community, @gcicabinets.

It's nice to have you here. I can help you rebate the health insurance premium to your employees.

First, let's add the Reimbursement pay type on the employee profile. I'll show you how:

1. Click Workers on the left panel.
2. Under Employees tab, choose the employee name.
3. Click the Pencil (edit) icon beside Pay.
4. Under How much do you pay this employee? click Add additional pay types if you haven't selected any other pay types, or click the pencil icon if you have.
5. Select the Reimbursement checkbox.
6. Click Done.

After adding this pay type, when you create a regularly scheduled paycheck or an unscheduled check for the employee, the Reimbursement field appears on the Run Payroll page. All you have to do is enter the desired amount.

For in-depth information, you can refer to this article: Reimburse an employee. Then, go to the QuickBooks Online section.

That's it. I'm free for any follow up questions, just leave a comment below. Have a wonderful day!

This solution does not properly address the taxability of this health reimbursement.  If it is a refund of premiums that were previously deducted pre-tax, then when reimbursed to the employee, they need to be considered taxable.  There are instructions on how to handle in Quickbooks Desktop (https://community.intuit.com/articles/1437615-medical-loss-ratio-mlr-rebates), but not for Quickbooks Online. :(

Good day, amys711.
