How do I create final paycheck for employee and include PTO payout? It was so much easier in desktop!

I know this isn't an easy process for you, @beth27.

You can create a scheduled or unscheduled final paycheck in QuickBooks Online (QBO) through the Payroll menu. For Scheduled Payroll, here's how:

1. Go to the Payroll menu, and then choose the Employees tab.
2. Click Run Payroll to select scheduled payroll, and then choose Continue.
3. Pick the bank account you use to track them. 
4. Select the employee you want to pay, and enter their hours, compensation, etc. In the Pay section, select Edit ✎.
5. In the How much do you pay [employee]? section, pick Edit ✎.
6. Choose Paid time off, and then click OK, then Done.
7. Under Pay Method for each employee, select the link to choose a paper or direct deposit paycheck.
8. Choose Preview payroll, and then select Preview payroll details. Then, pick Save for later or Submit payroll.
9. Hit Finish Payroll.

On the other hand, go to the QuickBooks Online Payroll section of this article for the steps on how to create a paycheck for Unscheduled Payroll: Create a final paycheck.

Once done, you'll want to update their employee status. This way, they'll be removed from your active employee list so you don’t get billed for them anymore. Go to the In QuickBooks Online Payroll drop-down ▼ of this article for the steps: Update employee status.
