Child Support payments

I have child support garnishments set up in Payroll for 1 person. I also have their bank account set up with Quickbooks Online. The company and bank has been approved to make the child supports payments in DHS-SAW.  How or can I have QuickBooks make the payments for me right from the bank account I am using for the business?  I don't print checks from the QB's account. But I do have QuickBooks set up to pay expenses/bills for me. I want to do the same thing for Child support payments, can I do that?

Child Support payments

It's my pleasure to help you make a payment for the child support, AGS-BRK.

 

In QuickBooks Online Payroll, when setting up a garnishment like Child support, you'll need to make payments directly to the agencies or creditors.

 

You can check this guide here for further understanding: Set up and collect garnishments.

 

For recording purposes, you can create a liability check to have a record of the garnishment.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Select + New.
  2. Click Check.
  3. From the Payee dropdown, choose your vendor.
  4. Select the Bank Account dropdown, then choose the account you use for liability payments.
  5. Enter the Payment date and Check no..
  6. From the Category dropdown, click the account you want to use to track your liability payments.
  7. Fill in the rest of the check as you normally would then select Save.

 

If you want to print the check and learn about paying garnishments, you can check this article: Pay your non-tax liabilities in QuickBooks.

 

Moreover, I'll be sharing the following resources to help you learn how to pay an owner of a sole proprietor business also create, manage, assign, or update pay schedules, and choose your product in QuickBooks Online:
