I need to deduct child support amount per pay cheque, how do i do this?

Hi there,

You've come to the right place for help. I'll be happy to give you a hand with showing you the procedure for handling deductions in QBO. 

First, you'll need to set up the deduction by following the steps below:

1. Select the Settings ⚙️ icon, then Payroll Settings.
2. Select Pay Schedules.
3. Select Deductions/Contributions.
4. Select Add a New Deduction/Contribution.
5. Select Health Insurance, Retirement Plans or Other Deductions from the Category drop-down ▼ menu.
   • The selection you make here determines the options that appear in the Type field. If you set up a Health Insurance or Retirement plan, you will need to enter the provider information. If you choose Other Deductions, you will be prompted to enter a description for the deduction or contribution. The description will print on the employee’s pay stub.
6. Once everything is filled out correctly, Select OK to save.

Note: You will enter the specific deduction and contribution amounts for each employee when you add employees in QuickBooks Online Payroll.
