Hey rjhrrs19,
It's great that you've already identified and looked into this issue. Mapping your accounts is crucial to maintain accurate payroll records, and you're already on the right track. You're already familiar with the options and you're correct, transferring the amounts using a Journal Entry or a Bank Transfer is a clean and simple way to post them in the appropriate account.
In an effort to protect your bank reconciliations, retroactively updating the mapping of your payroll accounts is focused on your income, expense, and liability accounts. Feel free to submit any feedback you have about this, as your comments help us shape the future of QuickBooks.
Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
