Hi, @psmljj66.
I'm here to provide details about reimbursing an employee for Health Care Premium in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
Since you already created the paycheck, you can create a reimbursement payroll item. Then, assign it to the employee's record under the earnings column.
To create a reimbursement payroll item, here's how:
- In QBDT, go to the List menu.
- Choose the Payroll Item List.
- Click the Payroll Item button, and choose New.
- Select Custom Setup, then Next.
- Pick Addition from the item type list and click Next.
- Choose an expense account. This allows you to set up an account to track the money you owe the employee for reimbursements.
- Set Tax Tracking to None and click Next.
- Select the option to Calculate on Net Pay and click Next.
- Enter the default rate and click Next.
To assign the payroll item to an employee, here's how:
- Go to the Employees menu.
- Choose the Employee Center.
- Double-click on the Employee's information.
- Pick the Payroll Info tab.
- Click the drop-down menu for Additions, Deductions, and Company Contributions.
- Select the item from the list that you wish to add to your employee's paycheck.
Once done, you can proceed with running a second paycheck solely for the reimbursement. By doing this, you can make sure that the liability balances are tracked accurately. Please refer to this article for further guidance: Create and run your payroll.
