Question

Payroll journal entries - wages showing twice in bank account (not on actual statement). How do I remove/zero out the journal entry

Hi there. I am trying to do my tax return for 2020 but the actual bank balance does not match that in qb. I have been through all transactions and have found that the discrepancy is because we have a payroll expense for wages which we physically pay to our employee - but there is also another entry showing in 'cash in hand at bank' for the bank account, under a journal entry automatically generated by QB through payroll. this means that the wages paid to our employee are showing twice. How do I remove/zero out the payment created by the journal entry? Please help it's drivin me mad!

Hello Gro1, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

So if the money is showing on the bank account as a duplicate and is not meant to be there you can exclude them, the journal mapping was probably posting to the wrong account, you can update the journal to the correct bank account which should post it correctly for you.
