Good morning, @MN Rookie.

 

How are you doing today? I hope all is well. 

 

Based on the information from the Minnesota Government website, paid leave can be included in a an employee's gross federal income wages if the employer covers more than the minimum required portion of the premium. If that doesn't apply to you, I recommend reaching out to our Payroll Support Team. This way, our team can check your account and make any necessary updates. 

 

To connect with our team directly: 

 

  1. Open QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Go to the Help menu and select QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us. This opens the Help window.
    Tip: you can also press F1 on your keyboard to open the Help window.
  3. Click on Contact Us

 

I also recommend consulting with your accounting professional. Your accountant can review the details of your state requirements and help decide if this is the correct set up for your company. If you don't have an accountant, don't sweat it. You can find one here in our Resource Center

Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with. I'm happy to help. Take care!
