Profit sharing

401k's often have 3 parts:

#1- Employee-paid contribution

#2- Employer-paid matching contribution

#3- Employer-paid profit sharing contribution 

 

#1- Employee-paid so is not company expense

#2/3- Employer-paid so yes these are expenses 

 

Assuming you are referring to one of these entries, the other side of the entry is usually a 2x liability account until the cash is paid.
