PAYROLL OUTSOURCED - TIMESHEETS / EE COSTS TO HIT JOB PROFITABILITY REPORTS

Yes, there's a workaround, @CICDayna.

Thank you for sharing a detailed concern in your post. Let's try the workaround outlined below so your payroll data will show up in your Job Profitability reports. 

Step 1: Set up manual payroll in the program. 

Here's how: 

1. Update your QuickBooks Desktop into the latest release. 
2. Go to Edit from the top menu, then choose Preferences. 
3. Select Payroll & Employees and click Company Preferences. 
4. Pick the Full Payroll radio button in the QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Features section. 
5. Tap OK. 

Step 2: Turn on the Job Costing feature in the preferences.

1. Go back to the Company Preferences on the Payroll & Employees page. 
2. Put a checkmark in the Job Costing, Class, and Item tracking for paycheck expenses box. 
3. Pick either the Entire paycheck or Earning item. 
4. Click OK. 

Step 3: Import your payroll data into QuickBooks Desktop. Ensure to check the mapping set up to guarantee the accuracy of the information and use an IIF file to import the data.

Let me guide you how: 

1. Click the File menu, then choose Utilities. 
2. Pick Import, then IIF files. 
3. Tap Import IIF and browse the file. 
4. Follow the onscreen steps. 

Once everything is done, you can now track your payroll expense. For detailed steps, see the Track expenses by job section through this article: Set Up Job Costing and Item Tracking. 

Additionally, you can always run the Jobs, Time & Mileage report to track all the data you've entered into the system. Then customize it to show precise information. You may also visit this page: Understand reports.
