How do I use the payroll account Reported Cash Tips and its offset account?

I just purchased the Quickbooks Enhanced Payroll for my Quickbooks Desktop. I set up the payroll and

added a couple employees that will receive cash tips. There are two tip accounts already setup

on my payroll list, Reported Cash Tips (and its offset). How do I use them when creating a paycheck?

Thanks

How do I use the payroll account Reported Cash Tips and its offset account?

Greetings, @mrguzzetta

 

It's great to see a new face here in the Community. I appreciate you coming here with your question about how to use the cash tips accounts when creating a paycheck. 

 

After you set up the items, you can add them to the paycheck from under the "Other Payroll" items. In the "Rate" column, type in the amount for each item. 

 

Before doing so, I recommend checking out this guide to ensure these items are set up correctly: Report tips in and out on employee paychecks

 

I hope this helps. If you have any other concerns, feel free to ask. I'm always here to lend a helping hand. Best of luck!

Thanks for reply, and Ive read the item you noted, however what I really want to know is how the two accounts function. If a server gets cash tips of $100, do I use the account Reported Cash Tips? How  does the $100 come out so I don't pay here that $100 in her paycheck?  Thanks for any help on this.

I believe I figured it out, i setup dummy employee and used the accounts when generating a test payroll.

Thanks
