Aflac category to use for the payment of the invoice to the company when the benefit is taken out of the employees check pretax

Do you post an Aflac bill to apply the payment against?  We have our payroll processed by a third party and have Aflac as well.  We post our Aflac bill and when the Aflac payment drafts from our checking account we go to "Pay Bills" under our vendor center and "pay the bill."  You should have an account on your chart of accounts for payroll benefits. We use a pretax deductions account on our chart of accounts (CAF) to post the pretax policy payments to.

I need to know how to seperate the pre tax and the after tax deduction in QB under payroll?

Hello there. Thanks for dropping by on this thread. I'll ensure you can split your pre-tax and the after-tax deductions in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll.

Do you mean to separate the category or associated account for your pre and after-taxes? If so, please refer to these steps:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Payroll settings.
2. Scroll down to the bottom part of the Payroll Settings page and click the Pencil icon designated to the Accounting tab.
3. Locate the Other Liability and assets section. Then, hit the Pencil icon to edit their designated accounts.
4. Find your Pre and After-taxes from the list and click their dropdown arrow.
5. Pick your preferred account where you want to track their data.
6. Once done, click Save, then Done.

However, if you mean setting up a separate item for pre and after-taxes, let's create a new payroll item. Then, assign it to your employees:

1. Navigate to the Payroll menu and select Employees.
2. Click the Edit payroll items button.
3. Select the New payroll item dropdown, then Deductions & contributions.
4. Choose Other deductions from the Deduction/contribution type.
5. Pick a tax deduction Type and add a Description. For example, "Pre Tax" or "After Tax".
6. Once done, hit Create. Then, Assign employee(s) to this deduction item.
7. Choose the employee(s) or click the Name Box to highlight all your workers from the list.
8. After that, hit Next and fill out the Assign rates page accordingly.
9. Click Save, then Done to finish the setup.
