How do I assign the GL account for a salary to post to?

Hello, carl. 

Let me guide you to the appropriate account where you can assign the salary to be posted. In QuickBooks, You'll need to access your payroll or accounting preference to assign a salary to post. Once in the Payroll settings, navigate to the Accounting Preferences section and look for the appropriate account to post the salary to. However, If you're unsure which account to use, consult your accountant or bookkeeper for guidance.
 

1. Go to the Gear icon.
2. Choose Payroll Settings.
3. Click the pencil icon in Accounting. 
4. In the Accounting Preferences.
5. In the section titled Paycheck and payroll tax payments, select Edit.
6. From the bank account drop-down menu, select the account you set up in your Chart of Accounts (COA).
7. Tap Save. Then, Done. 

For managing your accounting preferences and carrying out other payroll activities, you can refer to the following resources:

• Change bank account information.
• Payroll accounting preferences.
