I have an employees that was given the wrong Payroll Wage Expense Account. I am trying to find out how to switch them from the wrong account to the correct one.

Hi there, treasurer. Let's work together to update the employee's Payroll Wage Expense account.

 

We can go to the Payroll Settings page and change the mapping of the Wage expense account. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon and choose the Payroll setting.

  2. Scroll down to the Accounting section. Then, click the pencil icon to expand the page.

  3. Select the pencil icon beside Wage expenses.
  4. Review and correct the account for each employee.
  5. Hit Save, then Done.

To learn more about this process, please review this handy article: Change your accounting preferences in QuickBooks Online Payroll. It includes insights to determine what account type you can use for your payroll transactions and procedures in case you want to change your past transactions after updating your account.

 

I'm more than willing to help if you have any other concerns about your payroll or any processes in QuickBooks Online. I'll ensure your needs are taken care of. Keep safe always!
