It's nice to see you here in the Community, Sisley. Let's review some things so your payroll journal shows complete entries in QuickBooks Online Core Payroll.

 

First, let's review your mapping setup. Follow these steps:

 

  1. Go to the gear icon, then select Payroll settings under Your Company.
  2. Click the pencil icon in the Accounting section.
  3. Review your accounting preferences, then hit Done.

 

Next, ensure that the books are open. To verify this:

 

  1. Go to the gear icon, then select Account and settings.
  2. Navigate to the Advanced tab.
  3. In the Accounting section, ensure the "Close the books" option is turned off.

 

Once you've completed these steps, check if your payroll journal entries are complete and that the employment allowance journal entries are visible. You may also browse this article for more info: Set up Employment Allowance

Thanks AnneMariee. I have done all that, and there are still no employment allowance journal entries. Nb there is nothing in the accounting preferences settings for employment allowance. 

Any other ideas?

You can set up the Employment Allowance through the UK tax section, Sisley. I'd be glad to guide you how.

 

  1. From the Payroll Settings window, select UK tax.
  2. Click the pencil icon.
  3. Enter the required fields.
  4. Click on Save once completed.

 

With these instructions, you can easily configure the Employment Allowance in QuickBooks.
 

You can visit the Eligibility for Employment Allowance for further guidance.

 

Moreover, you can generate payroll reports to see what you've paid your employees. This will give you a clearer picture of their wages and contributions, which is useful when it's time to file taxes.
