403B

[jordan2k510]

I recently upgraded to v11. I would like to know how to set up the 403B Retirement Item Descriptions. I have read the on-line help for pre-tax deductions. Our Pastor contributes 6% of his salary +housing allowance and the church contributes 3%. In v11 is this still going to be 2 separate entries in the Item Descriptions; one for the employee 6% deduction and a separate one for the 3% church expense?

I'm fairly certain it has to be two separate Payroll Items. For example, our church pays for the pastor's pension and health insurance. This is a separate item processed at payroll so that funds are shown in the liability account. I'm certain your contribution to the pastor's 403B will work in the same way.
