Payroll for C-Corp

You've come to the right place, @Gigabit.

I'll make sure you can set up yourself and your partner as an employee in your company file. Before I provide you the steps, can you confirm if you're a sub-chapter S corporation or an LLC electing to be taxed as a corporation? That is the only legal course of action that allows you to be your own employee. 

Also, it would be best for your business to consult with an accountant. They will be able to tell which option you should go with.

Here's how to set up an employee in QuickBooks Online:

1. From the left navigation panel, select the Payroll/Workers tab.
2. Choose Employees.
3. Click on Add an employee and enter your personal information.
4. Click Save.

With these instructions, you'll be able to add yourself and get paid under your own company.

I'm adding this link to know how to start your payroll in QuickBooks as your guide: Getting started with payroll.

I've got your back if there's anything else I can help you with. Take care.

To be honest I am not 100%, we are a Massachusetts based company that registered as a C-Corp in Delaware. We file as a corporation not sure about the sub-chapter / llc bit. 

Hello, @Gigabit.

Let me share additional information on how you setup payroll in QuickBooks.

Depending on your business entity, you can either yourself with a salary or take an owner’s draw to compensate yourselves. You can visit this blog for more detailed insights: How to Pay Yourself as a Business Owner: Salary or Draw.

So you'd be able to verify whether you're a sub-chapter S corporation or an LLC electing to be taxed as a corporation, I'd recommend contacting your State Tax Agency. Once we're able to confirm your business type, you can set up your payroll information and tax information in QuickBooks. You can refer to this article for more detailed instruction: Set up payroll.
