@Bigmista - Apologies for the delay, and welcome to the Seller Community! We're happy to have you. As for your quesiton, Square Payroll doesn't currently provide the ability to withhold post-tax deductions, such as garnishments, from the wages of employees paid by direct deposit. Having said that, you can check with your state's policy for instructions on how to properly garnish wages. Garnishments can be made by deducting the garnishment amount from the employee’s net pay. If you do garnish an employee’s pay, you must provide them with an updated pay stub containing the details of the garnishment.

I over garnished by one payment. How can I refund my employee without it being taxed?
