How to capture payroll liabilities using 3rd party payroll provider Gusto integration with QBO. Only the expenses for payroll wages and taxes have been set up?

Hello, sasconsultingser,

I'm glad to help capture your payroll liabilities in QuickBooks Online.

After setting up an expense account for payroll wage and taxes, you also need to create liability accounts to track employee taxes.

Let me guide you through on how to accomplish this:

Create a parent account to cover all your payroll liabilities

1. Go to the Settings ⚙ at the right top, then select Chart of Accounts.
   
2. Click New.
3. Select Other Current Liabilities from the Account Type drop-down list.
4. Select Payroll Tax Payable for the Detail Type drop-down list.
5. Enter the name (Payroll Liabilities) of the payable tax, then click Save and Close.
   

Create a sub-account for the liabilities:

1. Go to the Settings ⚙ at the right top, then select Chart of Accounts.
2. Click New.
3. Select Other Current Liabilities from the Account Type drop-down list.
4. Select Payroll Tax Payable for the Detail Type drop-down list.
5. Enter the name (Federal Taxes (941/944)) of the payable tax.
6. Mark the Is Sub-account box, then select the parent account created above.
   
7. Click Save and Close.

Once done, you can read through this article: Manually enter payroll paychecks. Then, follow Step 2: Enter the payroll paychecks into QuickBooks Online. It will tell you what accounts to debit and credit on your journal entries.
