QB desktop and 3rd party payroll

Hi Brightonpl,

Thanks for reaching out here.  Welcome!  I can understand the importance of having your payroll information aligned with your QuickBooks Desktop account.  However, at this time you can only import transactions and lists as noted in this QuickBooks guide.  If you'd like to have payroll with your QuickBooks account, please don't hesitate to contact us.  With regards to setting up the calculations for contributions, in the third-party app, I recommend contacting their support team.

Feel free to reach back out if you have any other questions.  We'd be happy to help!

Hello,

I don't want to technically "import" anything, I want to enter the information manually.  This would be amounts I receive from the 3rd party payroll vendor.  We already have payroll set up in QB and we have been using it.  I want to know if I can still use the payroll function, by just inputting information and not printing cheques.  Without the payroll function, I have no payroll summary to include with my other financials.  If this isn't possible, what is the best way to input the information, without the payroll function.

Also, how can I change the payroll calculations in QB payroll?  It currently does not deduct RPP contributions from gross pay before calculating income tax and I need it to do this.

Thank you.
