How to process payroll?

I can guide you through the steps in processing payroll for a contractor, zabdillc2018.

 

You can start by entering the contractor in QuickBooks Online. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu, then select Contractors.
  2. Click Add a contractor
  3. Enter your contractor’s info, or select the Email this contractor checkbox so they can fill it out.
  4. When you're done, click Add contractor.

 

Now that you entered the contractor as a vendor, you need to start tracking their payments. Here are the steps:

 

  1. Go to the Expenses menu, then choose Vendors.
  2. Click the vendor you want to track and open their profile.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Mark the Track payments for 1099 checkbox.

 

QuickBooks will start tracking all of its payments behind the scenes. When you're ready to file your 1099s, you can easily add the tracked payments to the form.

 

Once your contractors have profiles, make sure your company’s payroll is set up for direct deposit payments.

 

Also, make sure that you’ve entered your contractor’s bank account info so you can pay them through direct deposit. You can also pay a contractor with a paper check.

 

Let me know if you need additional information about paying contractors in QuickBooks. I'm always right here to help you.
