HOW CAN YOU ADD MULTIPLE TYPES OF SALARY PAY TYPES TO QBO???? LIKE FOR OWNER SALARY, OFFICE SALARY...

Thanks for posting again in the Community, @iH8theonlineversion.

Right now, the pay type that you'd want to set up is unavailable. Since the supported pay types in QuickBooks Online (QBO) is compliance with the IRS as well as how each impacts federal taxes and forms.

To get to know more about the pay types you can set up in QBO, read this article: Add or Change Pay Types in Online Payroll.

Let me know if you have any other questions concerning payroll. I'm always around to help. Have a great day!

I see, well, CPAs like the Owner's Salary to be separate from other salaries.  How does QBO see that working?  Thanks, J

Hi iH8theonlineversion,

You'll want to create another pay type for the Owner's salary.

Here's how: 

1. Click Workers on the left menu, then select Employees.
2. Select the name of the employee.
3. Click Edit employee.
4. Under How much do you pay. . ., select Add additional pay types.
5. Select the pay type that fits your purposes.
   • You may need to select Even more ways to pay. . . to make the pay type you're looking for available.
   • Enter an amount in the $ field to make the amount recurring, or leave it blank and just enter the amount when running payroll.
   • To rename or change the pay type, select the edit (pencil) icon beside the pay type's name.
6. Click Done.

Here's a link for your future reference about payroll: Employees And Payroll Taxes.

If there's anything else you need, let me know so that I can help.

I get how to do that but it is not desirable.  Like the desktop version, one should be able to add different types of Salaries or allow each employee to be a certain type, while having more than one type of salary.  

Just wondering if you ever got a better answer to this? I just upgraded to online (I sort of H8 it too so far) and need the same functionality you were looking for and which I had in the desktop version....thanks. 

Hi there, campshaw11.

I know how beneficial it is for your business to pay employees using different salary types in QuickBooks Online (QBO). 

However, QBO only supports one salary type. I suggest checking out this article to learn the different pay steps available on the online version: Add or change pay types in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

On the other hand, any additional pay type you'll select is reported as regular wages in most tax forms. That being said, I suggest consulting first to ensure your payroll returns have accurate records.

Don't hesitate to post again if you have additional payroll questions. I'm always around to answer.
