Question

Employee Garnishment

We have employees who have child support garnishments.  We charge them a $5.00 processing fee.  We use Quickbooks Online Payroll to process our payroll.  I just noticed that there is a credit in our "Employee Advance Other Liability" account for the amount we have been deduction from the employees checks for the processing fee.  Is this correct?  What entry should I do to zero it out?

No the liability account should be zeroed out to an income account or a reduction to your payroll processing fee expense account.
