4. Set the Tax Status. Allowances or deductions always fit one of the following categories
   
   • a taxable allowance increases an employee's gross pay and may include things like service allowances.
   • a deduction is taken from an employee's after tax income and may include union fees, social club, etc.
   • a non taxable allowance is generally of a reimbursing nature such as tool money, meal money etc and are not subject to tax.

6. Click OK.
