Assign a specific expense account to employee wages

I've got you covered, @Del13.

You can edit your payroll account preferences. This way, employees' wages are posted to their expense accounts.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon, then select Payroll Settings.
2. Go to the Accounting section and click the Pencil icon.
3. Click the Pencil icon next to Wage Expenses.
4. Select the best option that suits your needs and choose the accounts to track your employees' wages.
5. Click Continue, then Done.

I've collected some articles for additional information about viewing and editing your current payroll preference:

• Set up Payroll account preferences.
• Payroll accounting preferences.

You can also run payroll reports to show details for each paycheck you've created, including total wages, taxes withheld, and deductions.
