Child Support Enforcement

Jun 18, 2005 1 Replies

We have one employee who we are withholding a portion of his pay and sending a separate check to the state child support enforcement agency.



Our payroll amounts and deductions are figured out by an outside CPA. The CPA faxes us the amounts, and we physically write the checks here. We create the earnings/deductions statements also using the CPA's information.



How should I best show the check we write to Child Support Enforcement? Should I just setup the Agency as a vendor and just write the check? What category should I use?



Mahalo.


Your CPA should be providing you with this information. Its a deduction from the employee's check and is considered a payroll liability, not an expense. Generally, the name of the county/agency you pay is specified in the payroll item window and is listed as a vendor in your vendor list.
