Deductions and Additions
If you set up miscellaneous deductions and additions In QuickBooks, these
payroll items are converted to Peachtree Accounting as employee payroll
fields in Employee Defaults. If you entered a set amount to be added to or
subtracted from the adjusted gross total, these amounts will also be converted.
QuickBooks allows you to enter percentage amounts when calculating payroll
additions and deductions. Peachtree does not directly support percentages for
deductions or additions. During the conversion percentages for additions and
deductions are entered as whole numbers. For example, if a payroll item is set
up to deduct 4%, Peachtree will convert this to a payroll field and enter –4.00
in the Amount field (meaning it will subtract $4.00 dollars from the adjusted
gross).
If you want Peachtree to calculate percentages, you must set up a company tax
table. For more information, refer to the “Payroll” chapter of the Peachtree
Accounting User’s Guide.
Local Withholding Taxes
If you set up a local tax payroll item in your QuickBooks company, the payroll
item will be converted to Peachtree as a payroll field. However, after the
conversion is complete, you must assign the appropriate local withholding tax
table to the payroll field. This will allow the local payroll field to be properly
calculated during payroll entry.
Note: If there is a balance for this field, it will be converted to Peachtree Accounting
as an employee beginning balance.
