setting up payroll insurance deductions

Hello, Seymore. 

 

Allow me to share information about setting up payroll health insurance deduction in QuickBooks Online.

 

In QuickBooks Online, we can set up the employer health insurance item. Where we can manually divide the contribution amount for 50% company and 50% employee contribution.

 

Then, the deduction amount is paid by an employee and deducted from each paycheck. While the contribution is paid by the employer and often counts as additional pay or wages. 

   

I can guide you through the steps on how to set up a deduction for both employee and company. Follow the steps I've outlined for you below: 

 

  1. Go to the Workers or Payroll menu, then select Employees.
  2. Click the employee's name.
  3. Tap Edit on Deductions and Contributions. Under deductions and contributions section, then select +Add deductions/contributions.
  4. Choose Deduction/contribution.
  5. For the Deduction/contribution type, use Health Insurance.
  6. Under Type, use Medical Insurance.
  7. Add the Employee deduction and Company-paid contribution
  8. Enter all the information.
  9. Hit Save.

Let me know if you have any more questions about the setup. I'll be right here to guide you further whenever you needed it. Have a nice day!
