I have set up to pay myself on Friday 18th but it looks like I have deducted it from personal account not business account. How do I change this?

Hi freshlilycleanin Have you create an expense to account for the payment?

Thank you.
I’m new to QuickBooks and payroll. I have now created an expense. But on my personal account it’s showing as a credit and a debit, is there something else I need to do?

Hi freshlilycleanin What payroll product are you using and what account have you entered in the payment account field and what account have you entered in the category column of the expense?

Thanks freshlilycleanin, please navigate to the Cog > Account & settings > Payroll > Journal mapping > See 'NET pay account' - this will be the account that the journals are posted against and this will automatically post the expense against your chosen bank, so there's no need to enter the expense manually (if you have your bank connected, you'll be able to match the payment in your bank to you journal).
