Can someone please help me figure out why the NY Disability Employee paid tax is listed as a deduction on our paycheck stubs instead of as a tax?

The option to change the New York State Disability Insurance (NY SDI) as a tax on the paycheck stubs is unavailable, @local46girl.

The NY SDI contribution is not technically a payroll tax in the same way that Social Security, Medicare, or federal/state income taxes are. Instead, NY SDI is a mandated employee-paid contribution to New York State's Disability Benefits Law program. That's why QuickBooks categorizes it as a deduction.

QuickBooks only follows New York State regulations, ensuring accurate reporting and compliance by displaying NY SDI under the Deduction section of paycheck stubs.
