Thanks for reaching out to the Community, lctv1958.

 

You can delete an employee's old contribution setup in QuickBooks and create a new one if necessary.

 

Since QuickBooks doesn't allow the same type to be used simultaneously, you can consider creating an IRS catch-up. The old one won't work if its limit has been reached, so you'll need to delete it and create a new one for it to be deducted again with the new catch-up limit.

 

Here's how:
 

  1. From your Payroll screen, go to Employees.
  2. Find and access and employee's profile.
  3. In the Deductions & contributions section, click Edit.
  4. Use your Trash bin icon to remove the contribution.
  5. Select Save, then Done.

 

Now you can create a new contribution for your employee.

 

Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a wonderful Thursday!

Thank you. That doesn't seem to work, the max is still $20,000.
