Taxes

I need to make sure what you are saying is the same as what I am asking. 

I do not think so but let me explain. The Employee Insurance is already set up in QuickBooks.  The 25% that is employee paid was also already set up in QuickBooks.  This year one of the employees added her husband.  When I added an item “Health Insurance – Spouse” on the Payroll Item List, I set this up exactly the same as the employees’ portion of the Health Insurance-Employee (25%) since in both cases, this will be pre-tax dollars and the premium is paid by the employer but deducted from employees pay.

Does that make sense?

So after setting this up, the employees spouse deduction is showing up as a liability when I pay liabilities weekly.  Even though the 25% never showed up in weekly liabilities that are paid.  Usually weekly liabilities are federal withholdings to US Treasury. And on a monthly basis our State taxes are paid.  The employee portion of insurance NEVER shows up here but the new one I set up for Spouse is showing up there. 

Sorry, I know this is lengthy and confusing probably. 

I guess what i need to know is can i go in to edit employee, as you stated, but the portion that is 25% for the employee deduction, change this for her and add the portion of her spouses insurance to that 25%?

So sorry if i am making something more confusing than it needs to be...
