I can help you set up a non-taxed contribution in your QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll.
You'll want to create a company contribution item to set up a non-taxed contribution. You can follow these steps:
Go to Payroll, then Employees.
Select your employee.
From Deductions & contributions, select Start or Edit.
Select +AddDeduction/contribution.
Select the following: a. Deduction/contribution type: Select the contribution type. b. Type: Select the specific contribution item. c. Description: enter the name of the contribution or plan provider.
In the Company contribution section, select how the contribution is calculated. Then enter the amount or percent per paycheck.
If you want to specify an annual maximum amount for company contributions, enter the amount in the Annual Max field.
Select Save.
Just a heads up, while company contributions are usually exempt from taxes, they can still be reported on some payroll tax forms. Therefore, I encourage consulting your plan provider and tax professional to learn more about your contribution.
