I've got the information to help you set up a journal entry to pay your employee, antietamroofingl.

 

You'll have to create manual tracking accounts to track your payroll liabilities and expenses. Create these expense accounts in your Chart of Accounts. Select Expense as the account type:

  • Payroll Expenses: Wages
  • Payroll Expenses: Taxes

Create these liability accounts. Select Liabilities as the account type:

  • Payroll Liabilities: Federal Taxes (941/944)
  • Payroll Liabilities: Federal Unemployment (940)
  • Payroll Liabilities: [State] SUI/ETT
  • Payroll Liabilities: [State] PIT/SDI

 

Let me guide you on how:

 

  1. Navigate the Accounting tab and select Chart of Accounts.
  2. Click New.
  3. Enter the necessary required fields in the New account window.
  4. Tap Save when done.

 

Then, enter the payroll paychecks into QuickBooks Online by creating a journal entry. Here's how:

 

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select Journal Entry.
  3. Under the Journal date, enter the paycheck date.
  4. If you want to track the paycheck number, enter it in the Journal no. field.
