How do I setup SECA payment to SSA and 403b voluntary payment as payroll items?

Question

 

In Deduction Categories there were already three items: 401K employee, 401K employer, and Health Insurance. 

 

I then created two new categories: SECA payment to SSA and 403b voluntary payment.

 

I have about 30 employees.  NONE of the default categories are available to be checked for any employee.

 

Some employees show THERE ARE NO DEDUCTIONS, some employees show one - the 403b voluntary payment as an available deduction, and some employees show both of the categories I created as available to be checked.

 

What do I have to do to make those payroll deductions available to be selected for the employees for whom I need them?

 

Thank you,

Amy

Hello Amy.

 

Most probably you’ve custom added new income categories and you did not make the new deduction types applicable to those income categories. 

 

For example if you’ve added a custom income type called “My Hourly Pay”, then you need to go to the income categories page, select the income “My Hourly Pay”, and then click Edit. Once the edit dialog comes up, look under “Deductions Applied” and make sure to check the boxes that apply for the SECA and 403b custom deductions you created.
