Welcome to Community! It's great to hear that you're using QuickBooks Online Payroll! You can reimburse your employee without tax deductions by adding an additional pay type to their profile. I'd be happy to show you how!
To set up the pay type, follow these steps:
1. From Payroll on the left navigation menu, open the Employee tab
2. Click on the EmployeeName and select Edit
3. Scroll down to Section 4 (how much do you pay) and hit the Pencil Icon
4. Select + Add Another Earnings type and give it a Name (for a non-fixed rate, leave the field as $0.00)
5. When finished, hit Done
This adds the pay type for all employees and can be selected at any time for future pay cheques. This field will now be included on the employees pay cheque and you can enter the amount manually.
Another option is to record the expense and decide whether to pay them now or later as indicated in this article.
If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach back out. We'd love to help!
