As S corp, how do I transfer Owners Pay to payroll (employee) ongoing?

Hello, skylinemetalfab.

I'll provide steps on how you can record the owner's pay. If you have already added yourself as an employee and have not run payroll  in QuickBooks, you can follow these steps to enter the prior history.

1. Go to Payroll > Employees.
2. Click the employee's name, and select the pencil icon next to Pay.
3. Under Step 8, How much did you pay [employee] this year?, select +Enter [year] prior pay details.
4. Select the time period you got paid. Depending on your answers, use the reports and pay stubs you gathered to enter how much you've paid yourself so far this year in the Year-to-date totals as of today column. Note: If you have missing items, you will need to set up all pay types, deductions, and company contributions as applicable.

5. Make sure to include all types of compensation, deductions, taxes, and company contributions. If you're in quarters 2 - 4, enter the amounts you paid the employee for previous quarters in the Year-to-date totals as of [date] column.

6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the historical data.

Once done, repeat the same steps to your other employees. I've got this article for reference: Set up a prior payroll for QuickBooks Online Payroll
