I'm here to share some information on how to record zero payroll amount in QuickBooks Online, @elitewellnessotx.

 

To zero out the net amount, you need to create a deduction item for the "out" section and Other Earnings pay type for the "in" part. Then, leave the other earnings amount blank.

 

From there, you can create a zero payroll. Here's how:

 

  1. Select Payroll menu and then select Employees.
  2. Choose Run payroll.
  3. In the Other Earnings box, enter the amount the employee received.
  4. Click the edit (pencil) icon beside the Net pay amount.
  5. In the Employee deductions section, enter the same amount as the current net pay in the other after-tax box.
  6. Tick Preview Payroll. Then select Submit payroll.

 

Then, you can run some payroll reports that show your worker's wages, deductions, and tax information. Here's an article as your guide: Run payroll reports
