How do I enter historical payroll data in QuickBooks Online

Hello there, @info872.

You can enter Prior Payroll information into QuickBooks Online (QBO) yourself as long as:

• The information being entered is within the current calendar year.
• You haven't created any current Paychecks using QBO yet.

Here's how:

1. Click Employees on the left pane.
2. Click the employee you wish to enter YTD figures for.
3. Click Year to Date on the left menu.
4. You will notice all the fields are inactive. To make the field active and available to change, click Make Adjustments on the bottom right corner.

For more information about the process, consider checking out this article:  enter year to date figures.
