How to enter a manual payroll so its counted on a T4

Hi there, 

You've come to the right place for help. It's important you're able to enter your payroll info manually. I'll be glad to guide you through the process. 

Journal entries are a good way to record the accounting information for your payroll in QuickBooks Online if you are not using our payroll service. There's a great article from our Community which shows you how to record payroll manually. I encourage you to review the article using this link: Record payroll transactions manually.  The example outlined in the article is basic.  For more complex payroll transactions you should consult with your accountant. Let me know if you have other questions. 

When using JE's to create your payroll transactions, make sure you put your Employee's name in the 'Name' field on each line of the JE so that you can pull reports on each employee, if desired.  This report will enable you to manually fill in T4 information, which you can do here:  https://apps.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/leb0/webform/pub/disclaimer.action?request_locale=en

Make a JE for an employee's PR something like this:

(In this case, actual payroll cheque is written to Wages Payable )

You can create a report as follows, using a Custom Transaction Detail Report, filtering it for the columns you want to show, and employees you want to see, and filtering by Class T4, grouped by Employee. 

Any amount that you want to show up on this T4 report would have to be classified as 'T4' on the journal entry.

Hope that helps a bit.
