Can I add an employee to specific line item?

I appreciate you reaching out to the Community, @bugleboy. Allow me to provide some details about your concern.

The option to add an employee as part of the line item is unavailable in QuickBooks Online.

I'd like to know more about your concern. May I know what specific transaction you'd like to add? This way, we can provide a resolution or workaround for it.

I'm including this article to learn more about setting up an employee in QuickBooks payroll products.

If you have any additional questions or concerns with adding an employee to a line item. I’ll be here to lend a hand. Keep safe!

Hi Kevin,

All of our current employees payroll shows up in a specific line item.

I would like our new employee Richard Skanse to be associated with "6405 Salaries - Talent Curator"

Thank you for your help

Thanks for getting back to us, @bugleboy.

I'll share some information about adding a line item. To confirm, are you trying to add an employee's pay type? If so, you'll want to update your new employee's profile to do it. Let me guide you how.

1. Go to Payroll.
2. Choose Employees.
3. Look for the employee in question. Then, Edit employee.
4. Hover towards Step 4: How much do you pay [employee]?. Then, tap the Pencil icon to update.
5. Click Save and then Done.

Learn more about the different pay types in this guide: Supported pay types and deductions explained.

I'm also attaching this link here to help you manage your taxes: Year-end checklist for QuickBooks Online Payroll.

Please let me know if you're referring to something else or if you have other payroll questions. I'll be here for you. Take care and have a great day ahead.

That did not seem to answer my question.  I would like my employees pay to be logged on a line item titled

"6405 Salaries - Talent Curator"

Hi lane!

From my understanding, you'll want to associate Richard's pay to your 6405 Salaries - Talent Curator account. I'll guide you through the steps.

To do this, we'll have to edit your payroll preference and assign the said account to Richard. Here's how:

1. Click on the Gear icon and choose Payroll Settings.
2. Choose Accounting preferences.
3. Click the pencil icon for Wage expenses.
4. Select Each employee's wages are posted in their own expense account.
5. Assign the 6405 Salaries - Talent Curator account for Richard.
6. Click Continue and finish the setup.
   
   

Speaking of preferences, you can check out this article for more details: Change your accounting preferences in QuickBooks Online Payroll. It has information about your payroll settings that you might need in the future.

If you have any other concerns, feel free to go back to this thread. Take care and have a good one!
