    Hello there, brettrwp. Welcome to the Community forum.

     

    Tags feature can be used for some transactions such as invoices, expenses, and bills within your QuickBooks Online account. There isn't an option to use this with payroll. As a workaround, you can utilize the Memo field to enter additional information for your paycheck. Here's how:
     

    1. Go to the Payroll menu.
    2. Within the Employees tab, click the Run payroll button.
    3. Select a pay schedule for this payroll.
    4. Enter the details you want in the Memo column. If you don't see this column, just click the Customize table to include it.

    Also, I recommend visiting our blog website to stay current with our updates and innovations. Lastly, you can run payroll reports to get the information you need: List of payroll reports. 

     

    Please let me know if you have other questions. I'm just around to help. Take care always.

    Hi brettrwp,


    Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about using the Memo field as an alternative way of using tags in the payroll. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at anytime.


    Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!

    Greetings, 

     

    Trying to track payroll between different grants (State, federal, private foundations) and can't seem to find a way to assign a tag to payroll and in some cases split payroll between two grants. Tried projects, but it doesn't seem to work with payroll that runs through a third party. Any suggestions on how to work around this issue? Thank you,
