    Hi Bronnie,

    You can set up a deduction item under Settings>Pay item> Deduction>Create a deduction item.

    You can then add this item to relevant employees' pay set up.

    I hope it helps.

    Hi @Bronnie

    Child support deductions/garnishees are not a mandatory component of Single Touch Payroll Phase 2 reporting at the moment so at this stage its not supported in Reckon Payroll for STP.

    Hi Karren,

    I have got that far but I have to select a deduction type. There is no Child Support in the drop down box to select. There is also not a Not Reportable to choose from if your software is not reporting this information via STP2 yet. am unsure how to proceed as I cannot leave this drop down box blank.

    Hi Rav,

    So what option do I select in the deduction type so that it is not reported to ATO?

    Hi Bronnie,

    Just like what Rav said, reporting of child support is not mandatory in STP 2 and is not supported by Reckon payroll at this stage. Therefore, it should just continue to remain mapped to Other.
