Incorrect entry for payroll

My payroll was incorrectly set up and pulled from the wrong bank account.  I had an assistant help me make journal entries to get it moved to the correct account but now it doesn't show up in my reports as a "wage".  How can I correct this?  The assistant is telling me that I will just have to remember what I did and tell the accountant next year at tax time.   This doesn't make sense.  Everytime I make a mistake and have to correct it with a journal entry I'm just going to have to remember what I did wrong and tell the accountant at the end of the year??

Hello there, stsag_sundfarms-. I'll help you make sure the payroll setup is corrected so that it will show up on the report.

 

You may consider correcting the setup in the payroll settings to the correct bank account to prevent this from happening again and ensure it shows on the report moving forward.

 

I'll demonstrate how:

 

  1. Go to the Settings icon and select Payroll settings.
  2. Scroll down to the Accounting section and click the edit pencil icon.
  3. In the Accounting Preferences screen, ensure the Bank account selected is correct.
  4. Click Done.

Consider contacting our payroll support as well. They can access your account and have a screen-sharing session with you. This way, one of our agents can assist you further in correcting the entries to post as Wage on the report. Please check our support hours to ensure we address your concern accordingly.

 

You can also check the Year-end checklist for QuickBooks. This will guide you in accomplishing different tasks in QBO.
