Direct Deposit paychecks shows as 0.00 in my check register

I just had my first payroll with direct deposit.  The check amounts show up as 0.00 in my check register, which makes it look as though I have more money in the account than I do. How do I correct this? I see that QB makes an entry in Payroll Expenses. Do I need to make a journal entry to show the deduction out my checking account?

The direct deposit should show as zero.  Take a look at the QuickBooks made.  You should have a debit entry to payroll expense and payroll taxes if you set up your chart account correctly.  The other side of the entry should be a credit to your checking account.  If this appears in your register as a check the negative number that zeroes out the transaction should be to you checking account the money was debited.

Hi there, sbrenner.

 

Thanks for reaching out to us. Let me help and provide some additional information about check register. 

 

Our Senior Contributor QBsguru provided the correct information. Once you're not able to find the liability check, you'll need to verify it by following the steps below:

  1. Go to the Employee Center.
  2. Select the Transactions tab.
  3. Click the Transaction Center.
  4. Select Liability Checks.
  5. In the Date field, select the year or quarter that the liability check is in.
  6. Look through the list of liability checks to see if the missing liability check appears. If the liability check is there but not in the register you expected, then the liability check is in the wrong register.
  7. Double-click the liability check to open it. And change the Bank Account to the correct account.
  8. If the liability check is not in the Transaction Center you must recreate the direct deposit liability check.

I have the same questions but with payroll direct payment to my employees.  All my information is entered correctly.  My QB registry shows a payroll entry of DD1007 for $0.00.  My bank statement has an ACH withdrawal of the payroll amount.  Do I make another entry of some kind to reconcile my bank statement?  I've been searching for help for months!
