Hi there, @ckdusek00.

 

Thank you for adding a post!

 

You can create a deduction item for the service/s. Then add it to your employee's paycheck. I'm here to guide you with the detailed process.

 

Here's how to create the deduction item:

 

  1. Click on Payroll at the left pane, then select Employees.
  2. Tap on the employee's name.a27 1.PNG
  3. Click on the pencil icon beside the Pay section. In some cases, you're routed to the Employee details.
  4. Scroll down to the number 5 section, then click on +Add deductions.a27 2.PNG
  5. Set the deductions, then enter the amount.a27 4.PNG
  6. Hit OK, then Done.

 

When recording your paycheck, the deduction is calculated automatically. If you want to update the amount, select the pencil icon, then enter the amount under the Current column.a27 5.PNG

 

You can also check out this article for more tips about adding or editing a deduction and contribution in QuickBooks Payroll.

 

Moreover, you may review the details from our help articles for more resources while working with QuickBooks and payroll checks.
