Question

Payroll tax items for Status non-taxable income

I am trying to find where I change a payroll Tax Taxing item to record in Box 71 for Status employees. The Status payroll items are linking to Box 14/A in which they should not be. In older versions, I remember having the ability to go into each payroll item being set up and setting the Tax Tracking code. I use the Enterprise Desktop and it's current and I can't seem to find where I would change Box 14/A to Box 71. Anyone know???

 

All help is appreciated.

 

Thank you

Hi Mats,

 

I understand the importance of ensuring accurate tax tracking for payroll items in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT). I'm here to help you update your payroll item's tax tracking type from Box 14/A to Box 71. Let’s work together to make this transition smooth and effective.

 

We can achieve this in the newer version by following the steps below:

 

  1. Go to the Lists menu, then click Payroll Item List.
  2. Double-click the payroll item to display its information, then click Next until you reach the Tax tracking type.
  3. From the drop-down, select the correct box.
  4. Click Next and ensure everything is accurate.
  5. To save the changes, hit Finish.

 

I hope this helps you make changes to your payroll items. If you have any questions or encounter any issues, please use the Reply button below. Have a great day!
