Welcome to the Community, High. As you join us as a new QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll user, our goal is to provide you with a smooth and seamless transaction experience. Particularly when it comes to adding expenses to your employee's paycheck.
To include expenses in your employee's paychecks, you should add them as a reimbursable item in your employee’s profile. This practice ensures proper tracking and management of their earnings and deductions.
Here's how:
- Access your QBO payroll account.
- Navigate to Employees.
- Select the appropriate employee.
- Scroll down a little to find Pay Types.
- Continue scrolling and click on Common Pay Types
- Choose Reimbursement and input the desired amount (e.g., 500).
- Then, Save.

Additionally, you can check this article to access and run different payroll reports in Advanced Payroll: Run payroll reports in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.
I'll be looking forward to you can successfully add expenses to your employee's paychecks, High. If you still need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reply to the thread. Best wishes!
