QuickBooks shows gross wages for employees, while your bank reports net pay and taxes separately.

I understand that you're experiencing issues with the double counting of payroll expenses in your profit and loss statement. I'm here to help you out, @lizzo501. 

In QuickBooks, when you set up your payroll service to track payroll responsibilities and expenses, our system automatically creates default accounts for these transactions. Payroll wages are posted to the expense account you have selected in your Payroll Settings.

To address the double counting issue in your profit and loss statement, I recommend customizing your report to exclude the specific expense account that you use for payroll. Here's how you can do it:

Here's how:

1. In the left menu, click Reports.
2. Under Business overview, select Profit and Loss.
3. Tap Customize.
4. Go to the Filter section, select Distribution Account.
5. Choose the expense account or uncheck  that you wanted to display on your report.
6. Click Run report.

From there, the data will show only the specific accounts you've chosen. Here's a link to a short video explaining the Profit & Loss report: Understanding Profit & Loss Statement: Income, Cost of Goods.
