To set up a taxable fringe benefit payroll item in QuickBooks, navigate to the "Payroll" tab and select "Payroll Items." Click on "New" and choose "Custom Setup," then select "Wage" or "Deduction" based on the benefit type. Enter the details of the fringe benefit, ensuring to check the box for "Taxable" so that it is included in payroll calculations for taxes. Finally, save the item and assign it to the appropriate employee profiles as needed.

These benefits are typically added to an employee's gross income, which affects the amount of taxes withheld. The specific amount is usually listed separately on the pay stub for transparency.


Explain fringe benefit tax?

Basically, it makes no difference how you get paid, cash, check, food, clothing, diamonds....anything of value. Fringe benefits, outside of certain limits (called "deminimus" for very minor things), and some very specified things, are considered salary. The value of that item is determined and taxed, just as if you had received it in cash. So, for example, if you employer provides you a car, or a house that isn't absolutely part of the job and you use it for your own use, it is a taxable fringe benefit. Generally, health insurance, life insurance under 50K, and a few others are NOT taxable, and almost everything else is.


Why does GTL show on your paycheck stub?

GTL, or Group Term Life insurance, appears on your paycheck stub as a taxable fringe benefit provided by your employer. If your employer offers life insurance coverage above a certain threshold, the value of that coverage is considered taxable income by the IRS. This means that the cost of the excess coverage is reported on your paycheck stub, and you may see it reflected in your taxable income for the year.

Is an auto allowance subject to ssi withholding taxes?

Generally Yes. It's payroll or an earned income...maybe by another name...but what you call it doesn't fool anyone, or mean anything. It's a taxable fringe benefit. If he gave you a car to use, that would be too. If an employer, through a qualified plan, reimburses you for your specific travel expenses (rather than an allowance), that may not be taxable.

Do fringe benefits get deducted from your paycheck?

No a fringe benefit does not get "deducted" from your paycheck in a traditional manner. If you receive a check for $1000 and $250 are total taxes, then your net is $750. If you receive a check for $1200, which includes the $200 fringe, then taxes are $275, then your net is $275. The difference is that you have paid the taxes on the fringe benefit. Basically, your employer adds the fringe amount to your gross wages, figures the taxation, then removes the fringe to make is "wash".
