@tinam follow these steps to see if it helps:

To set up benefits for your employees:

1. Log in to the Payroll section of your online Square Dashboard.
2. Click Payroll Team > select an employee who will have a benefit.
3. Click Add Benefit. If you’re creating a benefit for the first time, click Create New.
4. Enter a plan name as you’d like it to appear in your employee’s pay stubs. For example, Health Insurance or 401(k). Note: The benefit name can’t be edited retroactively.

5. Click Select > choose which type of benefit you’d like to enable for this employee.

   Note: It’s very important that the benefit type is correct, since this determines how your employee’s deductions and employer contributions are taxed and reported on tax forms like Form W-2.

6. Specify the details for your employee’s deductions. This information has been provided to you by your benefit provider, so you should reach out to them with any questions.
   • Calculation Method: Enter the amount or percentage to be deducted per pay period or per month.
     • If you choose to deduct a percent of the employee’s paycheck, the amount will be calculated from the employee’s gross pay before taxes.
     • If you choose to deduct a fixed amount per month, we will determine the amount to be deducted each paycheck based on your payroll schedule. If you pay your employees weekly, we will divide the amount by four. If you pay your employees every other week, we will divide the amount by two. In months with extra paychecks (months that have five pay dates for a weekly payroll schedule or 3 pay dates for a semi weekly payroll schedule), we will not make any deductions in the last paycheck of the month.
   • Deduction to date: If you’re switching payroll providers, it’s important that you provide the correct deducted-to-date amount for each employee.
   • Deduction limit: Enter the annual limit for the total amount that can be deducted for this employee.
7. Specify the details for your company’s contributions towards this benefit.
   • Calculation Method: Enter the amount or percentage to be deducted per pay period or per month.
   • Contributions to Date: Total amount the employer has contributed to this employee’s benefit to date.
   • Contribution Limit: The annual limit for the total amount the employer can contribute for this employee.
8. Click Save.

Once you’ve created a benefit for one employee, you’ll be able to apply this benefit to the rest of your employees.

How do I remove a benefit from quickbooks payroll integration? Square still has a list of Alice benefits for $0 that get sent to quickbooks each payroll.
