The normal way to do this is:
1. As I mention in the thread above, this is an employer liability, not an 'other deduction'.
2. Set up the item description of '403b Match'.
2. Add the employer liability pay item to the employee, and select Percent, and enter the percentage
However, I'm not sure that it will include the Housing Allowance as part of that so you may need to create a 'tax type' of Employer Match. Create a "tax table" for that tax type, and then when adding the item description for the employer liability uncheck the 'non-tax' checkbox, and select the 'tax type' of Employer match.
Then go to the Salary and Housing Allowance item descriptions, and if they're not already setup to use the
More Options tax options, do that, and uncheck all the tax boxes that do not apply, but make sure the 'tax' of Employer Match is selected.
Yes its a work around, but it should work.
