Hello carolinawren41,
Welcome to the QuickBooks COmmunity! When categorizing expenses, the wages option is unavailable in QBSE. Since QBSE doesn't have a payroll service, you can only categorize it as Other Business Expenses and tag it as Personal.
To know more information about the description of each categorization, you can check out this article: Categorize transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
Please let me know if you have any questions! I will be around to help. Take care for now.
