Title: Help me enter deductions into Case Study Spreadsheet?
Post by: MountainLakeMama on April 02, 2021, 06:58:56 AM

Hi everyone! I'm just getting started. I hope this is posted in the correct forum. I want to use the Case Study Spreadsheet to help me improve my situation (not necessarily to post in the Case Study forum).

I am attaching a screenshot of all my deductions. I can't figure out where to enter the following on the CSS:

WELL EMP (we get a credit for doing wellness activities so it's not actually a deduction) - ($25.00)
DIST SURCHRG (they charge us this for our healthcare- pretty sure it's post tax) - $2.00
SUPP LIFE (life insurance premium I pay) - $8.76
GCEA1 TIER1 (union dues) - $23.23

Thanks in advance for any help figuring this out :)

Update: I figured out where to put everything EXCEPT the $25 "well employee" credit. It probably doesn't matter too much. Any ideas?

If the $25/paycheck is included in your W-2 pay, add it to your gross pay in cell B3.  Does that work?
