I hear your voice with the difference in the journal mapping between QuickBooks Online's (QBO) Standard to Core Payroll is different, @Dinger.
In QBO's Core Payroll, we'll have to choose a payment account and match employee payments to the downloaded bank transaction to prevent recording them twice. I'd be glad to assist you in accomplishing this.
After choosing the payment account in your account's journal mapping, you can follow these steps for the matching process:
- Go to the Bank transactions page in your QBO account.
- Find the payroll transaction.
- Click on the Match radio button.
- Place a checkmark for the payroll cheques to the corresponding downloaded bank transaction.
- Hit Match.
For additional reference in transitioning from Standard to Core Payroll, let me add this article: Introducing QuickBooks Core Payroll: upgrading your Standard Payroll experience in 2024.
I'm also including this article on reconciling your accounts in QBO: Reconcile an account in QuickBooks Online.
