A report showing gross wages paid per pay period and the amount charged to a contract

Let me share some information about generating a report showing the total gross wages paid to each employee and the amount charged to a particular contract, @WNYCOSH-ED.

You can run the Payroll Summary by Employee to show the data you want. To do this, here's how:

1. In your QBO account, select the Reports menu.
2. In the Find report by name field, search for Payroll Summary by Employee. 
3. Choose the date. 
4. Click the Customize option to add more filters.
5. Once done, click Run report. 
   
   

The amount charged to a particular contract will be shown in the report depends on how you entered it. If you record this as an item, then it will appear on the statement. Otherwise, you can export the report and manually add the contract to it. For more insights about the process, feel free to open this resource: Manage reports in QuickBooks. 

Additionally, let me attach this link to help you memorize a report. It will help save it with its current customization settings.

Keep in touch if you have other questions about generating reports in QuickBooks. I'll be happy to help you again. Stay safe and take care.

Thank you for your response. This report is exactly what I want. I don't see that report available. We have QBO Advanced. I'm not sure if it's available on all levels. I went to reports typed in the name and there were no payroll reports except for the custom reports I created. 

I appreciate you for getting back to this thread, @WNYCOSH-ED. I can share with you some information to ensure that you can generate payroll reports.

To run a Payroll Summary by Employee statement, you must have a payroll subscription on your QuickBooks Online Advanced account. Then, if you have the service but still the report is unavailable, ensure that you have user access. If none, ask permission from the primary and company admins to give you the rights.

If you pass the requirements above but still get the same issue, we can perform some troubleshooting steps to fix this. There are times that the browser is full of frequently accessed page resources, which causes some errors or unusual responses. Let's start accessing your account using a different or a private browser. You can use either of these shortcut keys:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Shift + N

Once you have successfully generated the report, go back to your regular browser and clear its cache. This is done to speed up the process next time you do a transaction in QuickBooks Online. Also, an alternative way is to use other compatible browsers.

In addition, I've attached this resource to help you learn specific ways to personalize your statements in QuickBooks: Common custom reports.

So without a payroll subscription the report’s not available?

So that means without a payroll subscription I don’t have access to that report?

Thanks for coming back, @WNYCOSH-ED.

Yes, you're correct. You'll have access to this payroll report when you have a payroll subscription while using the service.

If you want to subscribe to our payroll service to associate it with your QuickBooks Online Advanced, you can go to the Payroll menu and then select the Employees tab. From there, hit the Get started button. You can choose one from the payroll service plans that will suit your need.

For visual reference, I've attached a photo:

If I sign up for your payroll. Can I run the reports retroactively, or just going forward?

Frankly the right payroll solution we have is the one we've had for 20+ years, but apparently this is just one more of the many differences between the installed version of Quickbooks and QBO. 

Yes, you can, @WNYCOSH-ED. 

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), you can run payroll reports retroactively or going forward by filtering the report period date. Let me guide you how:

1. Sign in to your QBO account and click Reports.
2. Then, scroll down to the Payroll section.
3. Open a payroll report you need.
4. From there, click the Date Range drop-down and choose Custom.
5. Enter the From and To date.

To learn more about the reports you can open in QBO, feel free to visit this article: Run payroll reports.

If you'd like to keep a copy of the report for future reference, you can do so by following these steps:

1. Go to the Reports tab and click Share.
2. Select Export To Excel if you want to print your report in an excel file.
3. Choose Printer Friendly if you want to print your report exactly how it looks in your payroll account.
4. Then, select Print.
