Hi Newbie_Fred,
Welcome to Community! QuickBooks is a powerful program that enables you to complete your daily tasks with peace of mind. QuickBooks Desktop Canada doesn't have the option for manual payroll. You'll need to make the calculations outside of the program and then enter the transactions. Here's how to locate the guide to process payroll manually;
1. Select Help from the menu
2. Choose QuickBooks Desktop Help
3. Click on Help
4. Hit the Search button and type 'process payroll manually'
If you're not certain with how to enter the transactions, I suggest reaching out to your accountant for the best course of action. If you don't have an accountant, we can help you locate a ProAdvisor in your local area.
If you require additional assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. It would be our pleasure to work with you directly and ensure you're able to complete your QuickBooks goals as soon as possible!
If you have any other questions, feel free to reach back out. We're always happy to help!
