The goal is to increase the paycheck by the amount of the "group term life insurance over $50,000", so tax is charged on it, but to NOT increase the net amount of the paycheck or retirement amounts.
To do this we will setup 2-deduction codes.
  1. Deduction code to add to check (negative amount) +LIFE50 (TAX GROUP LIFE > 50k)
  2. Deduction code to remove from check (positive amount) LIFE50 (GROUP LIFE > 50k)

Step-by-step guide:

  1.  Set up a deduction code for this life insurance premium to add to the check. +LIFE50
         PAY > Setup Information > Deduction Code        
         Deduct Before Fica? = Yes
           FIT/FUTA Exempt? = B-exempt from Both
           W-2 Code = blank
           Calc Order = 1 (you may need to re-order your other deductions to make this happen)

    2.  Setup a deduction that will remove the life insurance premium and report to the IRS. LIFE50
          PAY > Setup Information > Deduction Code        
           Deduct Before Fica? = No
           FIT/FUTA Exempt? = N-Not Exempt
           W-2 Code = C
           Calc Order = whatever is available
