Can someone provide instructions for entering Taxable Fringe Benefits? 

I need to enter personal use of a company vehicle for our owners for 2023.

Hi Gillian,

You will need to:

1 - Setup a Deduction and Benefit Codes

Company Level Setup

2 - Add to the Employees Deductions and Benefits under Employee Payroll Settings

Employee Setup

3 - Create an Adjustment Check

  • Add the benefit amount under Deductions
  • Add Taxable Gross where applicable. 
    • Federal (FICA/FIT)
    • Add Taxable Wage where applicable.  Do not exceed Taxable Wage limits, such as FICA. 
    • Check to see if you need to add to State or Local Tax
    • Calc but do not release.
  •  

Add Wages to update Taxable Wage

Adjustment Check

4- Run the Taxes by Paycheck Report for the Calendar year for the Employee (do not include Unreleased)  Look at totals page.

5-Edit report and include Unreleased.  Verify that the amounts are as you expect.

6 - Release the adjustment.

 

NOTE:  You can find instruction on how to calculate the Fringe benefit in Publication 15-B (2023), Employer's Tax Guide to Fringe Benefits | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov) and Publication 5137, (Rev. 10-2022) (irs.gov)

Has something changed in this process? It is no longer giving the option to calculate taxes… Do we need to manually calculate taxes for this now?

@Gillian is the Paycheck on Hold status? You should still be able to calculate on adjustment checks.
