Hi ironmangroupcont,

 

Thanks for reaching out here.  Welcome!  QuickBooks Online Payroll has the versatility you need for creating a nontaxable per diem item seamlessly.  I'll be glad to show you how!

 

Once you create the nontaxable reimbursement, you can apply it to the employee's pay cheque.

 

Here's how to add the pay item;

 

1. Open Payroll from the left menu and then Employees

2. Select the Employee name and then click on Edit employee

3. Scroll down to the section for How much do you pay [employee's name]

4. Click on the Edit ✎ and scroll down to the Common pay types section

5. Select +Add another reimbursement type

6. Give it a Name and enter a default Amount (optional)

7. Hit Save 

The item will now appear when you run payroll for the employee and you can enter an amount at that time.

 

Please don't hesitate to reach back out if you have other questions.  We'd be happy to help!
