Keeping the account in order is very important to the business, @greg119. I'll share some steps to fix this so you can reconcile with ease.

 

You can manually rewrite the paychecks by creating journal entries in QuickBooks Online. Make sure to use the details from your payroll report for accurate recording. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Obtain your employees' payroll pay stubs or a payroll report from your payroll service.
  2. Click on + New.
  3. Choose Journal Entry.
  4. Go to the Journal date, and fill in the paycheck date.
  5. Type in the paycheck number in the Journal no. field to keep track of it.

 

For more details about handling manual payroll, see this: Manually enter payroll paychecks in QuickBooks Online.

 

Additionally, refer to your accountant if you're unsure which accounts to Debit or Credit.

 

I've also added this handy article on how to access and personalize payroll transactions in QBO: Run and customize payroll reports in QuickBooks Online Payroll.
