Payroll reports

Hi there, richard96.

Right now, there isn't a customisable payroll report that shows the income tax year and the company's own financial. In the meantime, you can export the two reports to Excel, combine, and customise from there.

To export your reports to Excel, here's how:

1. In the left menu, click Reports.
2. Type in the report you'd need (P11 or Gross to net).
3. Set the necessary filters.
4. Select the Export icon at the top of the report.
5. Choose Export to Excel.
6. Save the file somewhere you can easily find, like your Downloads folder or your desktop.

I can see how having this feature available in QuickBooks would save your business' time. Our goal is to make QuickBooks Desktop the go-to software for small business owners, so we're always looking for ways to improve it. In the meantime, I encourage you to star our blog to keep up with any product updates or improvements on the online version:  QuickBooks Online Blog.

To know more about the Payroll reports that you can run in QuickBooks, see below articles:

Excel is what I'm doing already - those 2 reports are only available in CSV format anyway.

Can someone please fix the bug where the Name field in journals is not populated in transaction reports? It's a major pain in all sorts of reports, not just pay costs analysis, because you can see the Name field in all transactions except journals.

Can anyone confirm if this payroll reporting issue is being/has been addressed?  I am having to produce a report of all staffing costs (gross pay, ER's NI, ER's pension costs) summarised by employee for my company's financial year, not the tax year, and cannot find any way to do it at all.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I have some information to share with you about payroll reports, @Oil2341.

QuickBooks payroll reports are tax year based in compliance with HMRC. I know how convenient it is to produce a report for your company's financial year.

We hear your feedback and product suggestions to make the program better. I can send this idea personally. This way, our product developers or concerned team could take action to help improve your experience.

I’ve attached some resources to help you manage your payroll and reports in QuickBooks:

The workaround I use for this is to:

1. Run the 'Payroll details (gross to net)' report for each month in the financial year.

2. Concatenate the 12 monthly files together. Either by copy and paste or (if you're familiar with Windows Command Prompt) put the 12 files in an empty folder and execute 'copy *.csv report.csv' which will concatenate all the CSV files into a single file called report.csv.

3. Open report.csv in Excel and delete any duplicate header rows.

4. Then you have a data file you can use to produce reports!

A similar thing can be done running the P11 report for each employee, if you have a small number of employees. But I find with the 'Gross to Net' report it's easier to select just the months you want, i.e. those in the financial year you want!

Would be so good to get some decent reports from QuickBooks, but I see you got their standard stonewall response!

Thanks for your reply, however I'm not using QBO Advanced Payroll, just Standard, so unfortunately the links you sent me are of no use to me.

Thanks Richard, I'll give it a go ....
