With the Help of QuickBooks Support know how to Pay Garnish to a 1099 Contractor

On some occasions a business owner may receive an order from the court to garnish the earned income from a 1099 vendor. This article by QuickBooks support describes how to deduct garnished amounts from a vendor's pay, how to set up a liability account, and remit the payment to the recipient of the garnished amounts. 

How to create a liability account specifically for the garnishment?

• Click on the Gear Icon and then select Chart Of Accounts.

• Click on the New Button

• Select OTHER CURRENT LIABILITY present under the category TYPE.

• Give a new account name.

• The opening balance will be entered as zero in the beginning

• Enter date and then select SAVE.

Note: You can include the amount in the account name if the court orders a stipulated amount of the garnishment so that you can keep a track of it. The balance will increase and decrease when the vendor is garnished, and when garnished amounts are remitted to the third-party respectively. When more than one worker is being garnished, set up a liability account for every worker separately this will make it easier to track and to prove any disputed amounts. 

How to pay to vendors using the pay bills feature?

Click on the Plus Sign (+) present at the top and then choose bill.  Now in the Accounts column, enter the amount and then select the expenses account.  Now in the next line of the Account Column, click on garnishment liability account and then enter the garnishment. After entering the amount of the bill you will be able to see the total money owed to the vendor, after deducting the garnishment. Complete the bill and select save.

How to pay the garnishment to the appropriate third party?

Click on the Plus sign present at the top then select check. Now in the accounts column, click on the garnishment liability account.  Enter the amount of garnishment you are paying in the amount. Complete the check and select Save and Close or Save and New. The amount of liability balance will be subtracted by the payment amount.


How to pay a vendor using the check feature?

Click on the Plus Sign (+) present at the top and select on Check. Now in the Account Column, enter the full amount that is due to be paid to the vendor. On the next line enter the garnishment as a negative balance. The amount check shows the difference between total money owed and garnishment amount. Finally complete the check and select save.
