Question

I had just set up payroll but how do I mark wages as paid? I have the payment in transaction but can't find anyway to link the two retrospectively. Any ideas?

Have listed and employee with his start date a month before and he was paid the correct amount on the correct day, however that was before I set up payroll with quickbooks. Can I match the payroll/payslip with the transaction? or somehow mark it as paid.

Hello there, @the.foxwood.proj.

 

Just to clarify, did you create a paycheck already? If yes, you don't need to mark it as paid since it's a posting transaction. It'll automatically show up in the register. If you haven't created a paycheck yet, you can follow these steps shared in this article: Create a New Pay Run on QuickBooks Online.

 

If these are downloaded transactions, you can now go to the For Review tab. Then select each payroll transaction and choose to Find Match. Please follow these steps:

 

  1. From For Review tab, select the payroll transaction.
  2. Click it to see the full details and click the Find Match button.
  3. In the Match transactions window, choose the specific date to show all transactions that match with the payroll transactions.
  4. Hit the Save button.

 

Check out this guide for additional insight on how to match transactions in QBO: Add and match downloaded banking transactions. 

 

Please let me know if you have more concerns. I'll be right here to help, the.foxwood.proj. Take care and stay safe.
