Hello jack@ventrilink.!
Thanks for reaching out to us. Allow me to help you in setting up the 401(k) Catch-up.
When adding the 401(k) Catch-up, make sure not to edit or delete the prior 401(k). This is the basis when QuickBooks Online Payroll will calculate the catch-up. Note that the system will calculate it once you reached the 401(k) limit.
Also, you'll want to review the setup. Make sure to set an amount to deduct per paycheck. Follow these steps:
If you're contributing to this retirement plan, make sure to fill out the Company contribution section.

I did exactly as outlined above and was successful in adding 401k Catch up as second employee deduction. However, when I run payroll the deduction does not come up in payroll. When I try to update it, it does not allow me to input $2500. Once I enter it, it zeroes out. Not sure if it is related to some max out or what? The problem is it does not give me any error with reason.
Thanks for getting back and letting us know the result, jack@ventrilink..
Let's check if this has something to do with the browser you use. Browsers have caches that temporarily save your browsing data. When it's full, you could experience behaviors in QuickBooks like the one you're experiencing with the 401k when running payroll.
Below are some of the keyboard shortcuts that you can follow:
If it works, you may want to clear the browsing history of your regular web browser. This will remove previously stored browsing data that might have caused the issue. Otherwise, you can try using other supported browsers to be thorough.
If the issue persists, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Care Team. This needs an in-depth investigation to correct your 401K.
