Employees and payroll

Good day, @gabriela-hernand.

 

I'm here to provide details in setting up Child Support in QuickBooks Online. 

 

To begin, you may follow these steps to set up a Wage Garnishment:

  1. Go to the Payroll menu and then select the Employees tab.
  2. Locate the employee's name and then click the name.
  3. Under Does this employee have any deductions?, click the pencil icon to edit a deduction, or click Add a new deduction to add one.
  4. Select Garnishment from the Deduction/contribution drop-down menu and then choose Child/Spousal Support as a Garnishment type.
  5. Enter the garnishment details.
  6. Click OK.

 

Once done setting up, QuickBooks will only deduct the garnishment from your employees' earnings. Then, you'll be the one to send the check to the relevant party.

 

Additionally, I've added an article wherein you can learn more about garnishment: Compliance with wage garnishment orders.
