Let me point you in the right direction on your tax concern, aobrist.
If the employee's withholding is included on the report, you'll still count the wages. I also recommend consulting with a tax adviser for guidance on how to handle the situation.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you'll have to set the tax-exempt option. This is to keep the taxes deducted from the worker's paychecks.
I'm here to help ensure you can carry out this task in just a few clicks. Here's how:
- In your company, head to the Payroll menu on the left panel and choose Employees.
- From the list, click on the employee's name to see more details.
- In the Profile tab, go to the Tax withholding section and press the Edit link to open the Add withholdings screen.
- Go to the Tax exemptions section and choose the correct option.
- Click OK to keep the changes.
Here's an article that provides detailed instructions about the process in each payroll version: Exempt your employee from Federal or State Withholding.
Regarding your other concern, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team. One of our specialists will perform a payroll correction to ensure your taxes and forms are in order.
