Employees and payroll

Yes, Bhovis, QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) calculate the 50% maximum on garnishments. However, the specific amounts that can be withheld from an employee's paycheck may vary based on certain factors. I'll provide a more detailed explanation on this topic.

QuickBooks Desktop includes a feature to handle payroll garnishments. However, it doesn't automatically calculate the maximum allowable garnishment limit. Thus, it's required to manually enter the garnishment percentage when setting up the payroll item for a garnishment.

Keep in mind that to properly manage these garnishments, it is recommended to determine the garnishment percentage based on legal advice and then manually set up a deduction payroll item.
