W-2 and local tax

I'll be glad to guide you in getting your box-14 listed in your W-2, @WalkerPlumbing.

You can create a payroll item from your employee's profile to post the insurance accordingly. Ensure that the information and the tax tracking type are accurately entered and aligned with the guidelines provided by the IRS for Box 14 entries. Also, these are the things such as withheld state disability insurance taxes, union dues, nontaxable income, educational assistance payments, etc.

To edit the employee's profile:

1. From the left panel, go to Payroll.
2. Choose Employees.
3. In the Employee lists. select the name of the employee.
4. Click Edit (pencil icon) next to Pay.
5. In Additional pay types, select the deduction.
6. Enter an amount. Or leave it blank, then enter the amount as you run payroll.
7. Hit Save. 

Please note that it will appear on your employees' paycheck once you add it. However, if it needs to be added to your previous paycheck, you will need to create an adjustment so that it shows on the W-2 form. For guidance and assistance with adjusting your payroll liabilities, I suggest contacting our Customer Support Team. For more details on how to reach them, see this link: QuickBooks Online Support.

You can check this article for more details about W2 form boxes: W2 form boxes explained.

Once all set, get ready to print or file your forms. I'm adding these materials as your references:

• Print your W-2 and W-3 forms
• File your W-2 and W-3 forms

 If you have follow-up questions while preparing your W2 forms in our system, please notify me in the comment section below. I'm always available to help. Take good care.

The tax is set up properly. I called and talked to a payroll expert. They told me that box 14 is for information purposes only, and Quickbooks can not put anything in there that relates to our local tax.
