Fringe Benefit

Adding Fringe Benefit to your payroll is my specialty, NicoleHNorris. I'll gladly show you how.

The steps that you've mentioned to record fringe benefit are for the desktop version. Since you're using QuickBooks Online Payroll, I'd suggest following the steps below.

Let's start by enabling the Fringe Benefit inside the employee profile. Here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and then select Employees.
2. Choose the employee's name.
3. On the How much do you pay [employee's name], click the pencil icon.
4. Scroll down to Additional pay types, then select the relevant fringe benefit.
5. Once finished, click on Save, then Done.

After that, we can now enter the value of a fringe benefit on a paycheck. I'll show you how.

1. Be sure the Fringe Benefit pay type has already been applied to the employee.
2. From the left menu, select Workers.
3. Select Run Payroll.
4. Enter the employee's regular pay and the amount in the fringe benefit field you previously added.
5. Preview and Submit the payroll.

For more details about the process, please see this article: Add Fringe Benefits to Pay Checks.

Also, you can browse this article to learn more about the supported pay types and deductions: Taxability Types.

Additionally, I encourage running payroll reports in QuickBooks Online. This helps you view useful information about your business and employees.

Feel free to comment down below if you have any other concerns or questions about managing payroll in QuickBooks. I'm always glad to help in any way I can.

I have added a fringe benefit in the employee pay section, but the fringe benefit field is not showing in the Run Payroll - Fringe Benefit Only section.

Thanks for giving QuickBooks the opportunity to help you with your business needs, bekinobles.

Once you add the Fringe Benefit in the employee information, this will show the name of the fringe benefit you selected. For example, S.Corp Insurance. See screenshot below for reference:

If you're still not seeing this option, we can try performing some browser troubleshooting to isolate this case.

Let's start by accessing a private browser (incognito). Using a private window helps us verify a browser cache issue since this doesn’t store any cache files. You can provide them with these keyboard shortcuts:

Here's how:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Shift + N
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P

If it works, you may want to clear the browsing history of your regular web browser. This will remove previously stored browsing data that might have caused the issue. Otherwise, you can try using other supported browsers to be thorough.

Since you're working with payroll, you might want to check this article for some links about the payroll tasks in QuickBooks Online: Payroll Resource Hub.
