When I view my P&L report for Q1 it has line items for "salaries & wage" and a separate line item for "wages" which doubles my overall payroll expense. How can I fix?

Hello there, pschmiesing. Let me walk you through how to fix your Profit and Loss (P&L) report. 

Since you've mentioned having different line items with salaries & wages, and wages, it will indeed double your overall payroll expenses. As a result, you'll need to change the placement of your transactions or accounts in the payroll settings.  

Here's how: 

Step 1: Edit the placement of your account or transactions

1. Go to the Gear icon located in the upper right corner and choose Payroll Settings. 
2. Scroll down and look for the Accounting section.
3. Press the Pencil icon for you to edit.
4. Look for the account or transactions that need to be edited and press the Pencil icon. 
5. Once done, press the Done option. 
6. Click Done. 

Step 2: Run a report

1. Go to the Reports menu located at the left navigation panel.
2. In the search field, enter the Profit and Loss report. 
3. Customize what's needed to change.
4. Once done, press Run report.
