Hey rjhrrs19,
I've replied to your other post as well, so feel free to disregard my answer here. The best way to record a payroll in 2018 is by using a journal entry. This ensures we'll always have the most up-to date tax tables, so you can rest assured your deductions are calculated correctly. As the accounts used are generally the same, it's simple to create a template from your first journal entry to streamline this process going forward.

Hope this helps!
