Mileage reimbursement tax

I've got you covered, @marianne7.

I understand the importance to be able to reimburse your employees for any costs they incur as they conduct their daily duties. You'd want to set up a mileage reimbursement pay type in QuickBooks. I can guide you on how to do this.

1. Navigate to the Payroll or Workers menu.
2. Select the Employees tab.
3. Double-click on the employee's name.
4. From the How much do you pay section, click the pencil icon next to Add additional pay types.
5. Choose Even more ways to pay drop-down.
6. Place a checkmark next to Reimbursement. 
   • You may enter a recurring amount in the box, or add it when you run payroll.
7. Click Done.

Once added, you can also assign this to another employee and include it creating your employees' paycheck. You can check this article for more detailed steps: Create a reimbursement pay type in Online Payroll.

I'm adding these articles as an additional reference in managing your payroll information in QuickBooks:

I got mileage to work as a non-taxable reimbursement but there is nowhere to record the HST portion.  I could record it separately but qbo forces me to put all reimbursements to the same account so I have to go in with a journal entry later to pull the hst out.
