I'm on QB Desktop Pro 2021 with Enhanced Payroll. I'd like to break Owner's Salary/Payroll out from the "general" payroll bucket. I was able to go into the Chart of Accounts and Create a "General Payroll" line plus a "Owner's Payroll" line both rolling up to Payroll Expense. The next question is how to I map individual people's payroll to either the Owner or General payroll categories.
I don't want to mess with any tax witholdings - they all need to go exactly where they go today....just the Gross Payroll number I want broken down.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'd be happy to help you in allocating your payroll items to specific categories, @lpasekof.
In QuickBooks Desktop, you can create multiple payroll items and assign a specific category for them. You may consider creating a set of payroll items and assigning them to General Payroll or Owner's Payroll category.
Once done setting up the payroll items with their respective categories, you can assign them to your employees.

Thank you for getting back to me!
I think maybe we're missing a step. I went to the Lists Menu and chose Item. Created a NEW item but do not see an option for Custom Setup. I DO have an option for Custom Fields but nothing relevant there. I checked the TYPE drop down but there is no Wage option in that field.
Hello lpasekof. based on the product you have it looks like you have the US version, as the UK 2021 version does not have payroll and is therefore not supported by us.We are the UK team we'll help as best we can you could go to
Can I redirect this post to a US support group? If not, how do I repost? When I posted I was unaware I was posting to the UK.
