Retirement Plan deferrals
The salary deferral agreement form provided by our 401(k) plan provider allows employees to elect different deferral percentages for regular paychecks vs. bonuses vs. commissions. I don't see in Quickbooks how it is possible to set up different deferral rates by compensation type. It looks to me like it is only possible to have one set deferral rate. Is this correct?

Employees and payroll
Hello there, susan. Thanks for posting your concern here.
Yes, you're right. The system won't be able to set up different deferral percentages. I know how important to record this in QuickBooks accurately.
For now, I'd recommend consulting a QuickBooks accountant to learn the other way of handling this in QuickBooks. Also, we can reach out to IRS for further assistance and ensure we record different deferral rates by compensation type. Please visit our Intuit Find-A-ProAdvisor site to find certified professionals near you.
