How do you include IRS Code 401a in Quickbooks

I appreciate you reaching out to us, @KMPO. I'll share an update on setting up IRS Code 401a in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) and point you in the right direction to achieve this.

Please know that the IRS code 401 (a) is unsupported in the program and that adding it to QBDT isn't possible. Meanwhile, these are the presently supported plans available in QBDT:

• 401(k) / 401(k) catch-up
• Simple 401(k) / Simple 401(k) catch-up
• 403(b) /403(b) catch-up
• SARSEP / SARSEP catch-up
• Simple IRA / Simple IRA catch-up
• After-tax Roth 401(k)
• After-tax Roth 403(b)
• Company-only plan

More details are available in this article: Set up or change a retirement plan.

Since 401a isn't an option, I recommend working with a Tax ProAdvisor so they can help you get around this and set up the closest plan offered. They can also provide more details and assist you in keeping your books accurate.
