If I make payment to my contractor using quickbooks payroll, I chose the Account Contract Labor in the category, how can i accrue that expense to the right date?

You need to manually update the payment to the correct date, accounting662.

You'll want to go to the Expenses menu and locate the payment you've made to your contractor. Given that you want to accumulate a week earlier, the transactions might be recorded under May.

If you've already reconciled the month of May, it could lead to some discrepancies in your account. For the modifications you need to make, I suggest consulting with your accountant to ensure that your records are accurate.

To update the Payment date, follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Expenses menu and click Expenses.
2. Locate the transactions.
3. Click the View/Edit drop-down.
   
4. Choose the right date for the payment.
   
5. Click Save and close.
