Track and record garnishment payments
If you collect garnishments in Intuit QuickBooks Workforce, you can track your open garnishment liabilities and record payments against them in QuickBooks to keep your books correct. This helps make sure your records reflect the payments made to agencies or vendors after payroll is processed.
Before you begin
Before you can track and record a payment, you must complete these prerequisites:
Set up the garnishment: ensure the garnishment is fully set up in Intuit QuickBooks Workforce.
Collect the funds: Create a payroll run to collect the garnishment amounts from employee paychecks.
Track and record a garnishment payment
Follow these steps to see open garnishment liabilities and post a garnishment payment in your QuickBooks records:
Go to All apps
, then Payroll, then Payroll taxes (Take me there).Select Garnishments.
Find the garnishment you want to post and select Pay next to it.
Review the total amount of garnishments accrued across pay periods and select whether you want to pay for all or just some of them.
Select your preferred method for how to record the payment in your books. If you choose I want this payment synced with QuickBooks, the liability reduction will be reflected in your books.
Select Save.
