Hi, Lloyd. I can share with you a couple of options on how to add a monthly reimbursement to your payroll transactions.
 

First, you can create a reimbursement pay type in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks.
  2. Click on Payroll at the left pane, then select Employees.
  3. Select the employee's name.
  4. Tap on the edit (pencil) icon beside Pay.
  5. Under How much do you pay, choose to Add additional pay types.
  6. Look for Reimbursement from the Pay types section. 
  7. Click on +Another Reimbursement type, then enter the name and amount (optional).
  8. Hit Done.

 

Once reimbursement is added, check your accounting preference to ensure it is posted in the correct accounts for exporting purposes. When running your payroll, enter the amount in the reimbursement field.

 

The second option is to write a cheque or create an expense. To learn more about the process, use this article as your guide: Reimburse an employee.

 

For additional resources, while handling your payroll entries in QBO, check out the resources from here: Process or run payroll.

 

When you're ready to pay and file your payroll taxes and forms, review this link for your reference: Pay and file payroll taxes online.
