The update are effective from January 1, 2024, if an hourly employee works more than 40 hours in a week, the pay from those extra hours is exempt from AL income tax. We rolled out an updates and added the option to enter the tax-exempt amount for AL income tax in QuickBooks. 

Here's how:

  1. Go to Payroll menu, choose Employees.
  2. Click Run Payroll
  3. From your employee list, select Actions, then Add tax-exempt pay.
  4. Enter the tax-exempt pay dollar amount and hit Add.
  5. Repeat steps 3 - 5 for each employee with tax-exempt amounts
