Add a New Deduction for Commissions/Transactions

In CommandMC, we have a deduction management system in place where you can create Deductions used by your associates for their transactions. Once you have created a list of Deductions, your associates will be able to select and allocate commission revenue to these when completing Commission Requests.

You will see 3 system created Deductions that have set up automatically and are not editable, though you do have the ability to add your own local versions of these, if needed:

•  
  • KW Cares and KW Next Gen (formerly KW Kids Can) - Tax-Deductible Nonprofits
  • BOLD Scholarship - Non-Tax-Deductible KWRI Philanthropy

Once you create Deductions, you will be able to click to Edit or Archive the Deduction, as well as set up automatic recurring amounts of this Deduction to specific agents. 

To add a new Deduction for associates in your Market Center to utilize:

1. Log in to https://agent.kw.com with your KW login credentials.

2. Click CommandMC at the top of the page.

3. Click to access the Administration Applet, , on the left side of the page.

4. On the left side of the page, click Deductions.

5. Click New Deduction, at the top right of the page.

6. (Required) First we need to select or create a Category for this deduction. Use the corresponding drop-down to start typing the Category you want to use for this:

• If you see the result you are looking for, select the existing Category from the drop-down. 
• If not, fully type out the Category Name (exactly as you want it displayed in the system), then click Add New Category. 

7. (Required) Enter a Deduction Name.

8. (Only if Applicable) Next, if this is a Private Deduction that should only be visible to agents associated with it, check the corresponding checkbox.

• A Private Deduction can only have one agent associated with it, though one agent can be associated with multiple Private Deductions.
• A good example for this is a private child support deduction. It would only apply to one agent, and they would not want all of the agents in the Market Center to see it in the list of selectable deductions when completing a Commission Request.

9. (Optional) Enter a Description of the Deduction.

10. (Only if Applicable) Select the Tax ID Type (EIN or SSN) and then enter the Tax ID Number and Pay To fields, if that information will be needed.

• The Tax ID field is auto-formatted to fit the type of ID you selected.

11. (Only if Applicable) Enter the Address of the payee, if applicable.

12. Click Create, at the bottom right of the form.

Once added, you will find it in the Deductions section of the Administration Applet. From here, you can click to Edit or Archive the Deduction, as well as click into it to set up automatic recurring amounts of this Deduction to specific agents.
