Zelle employee payments

Because my employee and my contract worker both are remote, we've started using Zelle instead of physical checks.  Do we still need to record the transactions with a check number- even though there physically isn't one?  The only choice is physical check or direct deposit.  We are doing neither.  I want to make sure they are being recorded properly.

Hi djriley728,

 

 You can enter a journal entry to record the payroll transactions manually. As for the contractor payments, you can create either Check or an Expense. Then, instead of the check number, you can use the Memo field to take note of the transactions.

 

Before doing any of the steps, I'd recommend reaching out to your accountant so they can guide you on the best accounts to use.

 

I've added these links for the detailed steps to enter the said transactions:

 

 

Also, when you're ready to file your payroll taxes, you can check this guide: Manage automatic tax payments and form filings.
