Employees and payroll

Thanks for your prompt reply, @khaleds,
I don't think that the employer liabilities should be in your Balance Sheet report. Let's try to review the journal entry above.

The employer taxes (Medicare, SS, SUTA, FUTA, and Training) are categorized as Payroll Expense accounts. If the detail type of these taxes is Other Current Liabilities, you'll need to change it to Payroll Expense. Then, there's no need to write a check for these taxes. Once you update the accounts, the Journal Entry will also be updated.

Payroll Expenses:  Employer Social Security              (Debit)         835.20
Payroll Expenses:  Employer Medicare                        (Debit)        195.33
Payroll Expenses:  Employer Fed Unemploy...             (Debit)          21.24
Payroll Expenses:  Employer State Unemploy..            (Debit)        120.38
Payroll Expenses:  Employer State Emp Train...           (Debit)           3.54

Let me know how it goes.
