Hi there IllawarraAnn,
To report contractor payments for Payroll Tax purposes, you don't need to set up the contractor in payroll. Instead, follow the steps below"
- Update Contractor Card: Ensure that on the contractor's card, the "Report Taxable Payments" option is ticked. This will include their payments in the taxable payments report.
- Set Preferences: Go to Setup > Preferences > Reports & Forms tab and select the preference "I Report Taxable Payments Made to Contractors."
You can check this link for more information.
Best regards,
Doreen
