Payroll taxes - Setting them up in 2 different payroll accounts within the P and L

I utilize two different payroll sub accounts: Administrative and Servicing. All of the payroll taxes are currently showing under Servicing. How do I separate them so that Admin/Payroll/Taxes show up.

The expenses for company paid taxes can't be split for a given tax.  This is because a tax will have only one expense account and there can be only one instance of each tax item.

 

So the way to do this is to Journal the expenses from one expense account to another after creating payroll and calculating the amount to shift in this way.
