Should paychecks show up when I try to reconcile the bank account?

Hi there, sales283. I can guide you through the steps of reviewing why the paycheck is being shown as an accounts payable.

Yes, paychecks will appear when you set up the right posting bank account in the Accounting preferences section and if you filtered the correct date period in the reconciliation page.

QuickBooks will depend on how you set up your posting accounts for payroll/paychecks. Since your paychecks are being posted as Accounts Payable, I recommend reviewing your posting account setup in the Accounting preference section and then making necessary changes if there are any.

Here's how:
 

1. Go to the Gear icon, then select Payroll settings.
2. Scroll down to Accounting and click the pencil icon to edit it.
3. Check if some necessary information needs to change.
4. Once finished, click Done.

I've also added a screenshot for you visual reference.

Also, please provide a screenshot of the paycheck labeled as an Account Payable on your reconciliation page. It will help me provide better assistance. Please note that paychecks won't appear as accounts payable. I suggest reviewing the check in your register to ensure accuracy.
