Payroll Withdraws

Let's make sure you'll be able to enter payroll correctly, ECO Gal.

Normally, you can create a paycheck manually in QuickBooks Online. To do it, you can follow the steps below:

In the navigation bar on the left, go to Workers or Payroll and open the Employees tab.
2. Click on the green Run Payroll button.
3. Choose the worker you'd like to pay, then enter their hours.
4. Use the Preview payroll option to proceed.
5. Select Submit payroll.
6. Hit Finish Payroll.

If you still need to keep track of those paychecks in QuickBooks you can do it manually. Learn from this article for your guide: Manually Enter Payroll Paychecks In QuickBooks Online.

Hi There,

I think you misread my post.  I do run payroll.  And quickbooks posts the employees check (wage expense).  However, because I do not write a check (I pay them cash), how do I record the cash withdraw I do?  Because as of now, It shows eric T. -1507.77 in my ledger, but it also shows the withdraw I made -1507.77 to actually pay him.  Therefore it shows my payroll as double the cost.  How do I enter the cash withdraw that is used to pay them?

Hello there, ECO Gal. Thanks for getting back to us.

You don't need to create a separate transaction after running payroll. With that, recording cash withdrawals is not necessary. If you already created one, make sure to delete it.
