Nice to see you here in the Community, @Michigan222. I'm here to point you to the support available to assist you with this.
Most of your payroll items sync with QuickBooks Online automatically. Since it is included as a pay item, you're correct that you'll have to categorize it as such to proceed with the setup process.
If you aren't sure how to categorize it properly, I suggest reaching out to our Payroll Support Team to check your account securely and perform a screen-sharing session to assist you with this process. They can also help you ensure you can proceed with the configuration process.
Here’s how to get in touch with our representatives:
- Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
- Click the ? Help button at the top right corner.
- Go to the Search tab, then select Contact Us.
- Enter a brief discussion about your concern, then click Continue.
- Choose a way to connect with us.
Please check out our support hours to ensure we can address your concerns promptly.
