Get your taxes done using TurboTax

In your example, $1,000 would be Wages/Earnings Expense (Form 1120S Line 8) and $130 would be Retirement Plan Contributions (1120S Line 17). Total expense to employer = $1,130.

 

Employee was paid $1,000, of which $200 went to IRA and $50 to health insurance. Net pay to employee before taxes = $750.

 

On your accounting records, the payroll deductions that are not employer expenses would be on the balance sheet as liabilities until paid.
