How do I record payment to worker's comp in payroll liabilty if premium is paind annually

Let me help you record the Workers' Compensation premiums payment in QuickBooks, Celia Graciano.

Once you pay the annual premium in advance, we need to record it QuickBooks Desktop. This is to avoid why the payroll liabilities show as overdue even though you've paid them already. We can pay your premiums using a payroll liability check. Just use the payroll item as Workers Compensation, unless you renamed it when you set up Workers Compensation.

Just follow the steps and details in the Set up and pay scheduled or custom (unscheduled) liabilities article to pay your Workers' Compensations. To learn more about paying your Workers’ Compensation premiums in QuickBooks Desktop, see Pay Workers' Compensation premiums article. 

On the other hand, QuickBooks will stop accruing the Workers' Comp liability and expense once you create a payment on it. You can also run the reports for your Workers' Comp info so you can prepare forms for state agencies or insurance companies.

I'll be right here to continue helping if you have any other concerns or questions about QuickBooks. Assistance is just a post away. Have a great day ahead. 

the issue I have is that the annual premium was paid using a credit card, not a payroll liability check.  I recorded the transaction as an insurance expense.
