Workers Comp Codes

Yes, KathyP1964. You can change the workers comp codes in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). Let me show you how.

 

Before changing the Workers' Comp code, please ensure that you have selected the Manually Track Existing Workers' Comp Policy option from the Workers Compensation and that your Workers' Comp code has already been set up. This way, once you assign it to your customers, you won't need to change it again. This ensures that your Workers' Comp policies are accurately tracked and reported. 

 

Here's how:

 

Step 1: Set up Workers Comp

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu, then select Workers Compensation.
  2. Select Manually Track Existing Workers’ Comp Policy.
  3. Make sure you have the requirements listed in the Workers Compensation Setup Wizard window.
  4. Select Next.
  5. Enter the needed info of your workers’ comp insurance provider, where you pay your premium to.
  6. Select Next.

 

Step 2: Set up and assign workers comp code to the designated employees

 

  1. Go to Lists, then select Workers Comp List.
  2. From the Workers Comp Code dropdown, select Add New to create a new code.
  3. Enter the necessary info then select OK.
