Hello - I have an employee Lila who is our Church Administrative Coordinator (this sub-account falls under the Personnel). Each time I pay her it gets posted to Wages & Taxes. This sub account falls under Payroll.
 
Trying to get it to post correctly.
 
Would appreciate your help.
 
Thanks
Jim

Welcome back to the Community, Jim.

 

I can help you ensure your payroll is set up accordingly. This ensures payroll transactions are posted to the correct account every time you run payroll.

 

You'll want to check your Payroll settings and ensure that the Personnel account is used instead of Salaries and Wages. I'll show you how to do it:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and select Payroll settings.
  2. Scroll down to the Accounting section.
  3. Click on the Edit pencil icon.
  4. Select the correct account.
  5. Click Continue, then Done.

 

To learn more about setting up payroll, please check this article: Get started with QuickBooks Online payroll.

 

Also, you can check this link if you need to run payroll-related reports: Run payroll reports.

 

Keep me updated by posting again if you need more help with payroll. I'll be sure to help you more.
