How do I capture all labor burden costs and those costs be reflected on job profitability reports?

Make sure all of the company taxes and other benefit items have the option selected to job cost.  Then when you create new checks the expenses from those items will be costed when you enter the Jobs on the paychecks in the earnings table.

The payroll taxes are not giving me the option to select job costing.  Where would I do this?

I am using Contractor desktop and it doesn't give me the option to job cost payroll taxes.  Where can I do this?

Hello @lmgiampa,

 

You'll have to select a job under the Customer:Job column of your employee's earning. This way, you can calculate the job costing of your payroll taxes.

  1. Go to Employees.
  2. Select Payroll Center.
  3. Click Start Unscheduled Payroll.
  4. Choose an employee for your payroll.
  5. Select Open Paycheck Detail.
  6. Under Earnings, select a job on the Customer:Job column.
  7. Click Save & Close.

Here's an article you can read to learn more about job costing and tracking: Tracking job costs in QuickBooks Desktop.
