Manual Payroll

Hi there, @cruise288, and fmtigroup2021.

Let me add details on how you can manually create and track your payroll expenses and tax liabilities in QuickBooks Online.

You'll have to create expense and liability accounts in QuickBooks to track the amounts. When entering the payrolls paychecks, you can add them as journal entries. For reference, see this article: Manually enter payroll paychecks in QuickBooks Online.

I'll add these articles to get more insights on how you can run manually made payroll in QuickBooks: Run reports in QuickBooks Online.

Also, I suggest reaching your accountant to make sure that you're using the right account to track expenses and liabilities.

If you have other questions or need clarifications, feel free to place them here. I'll be around to lend a hand. Stay safe and well!

Thanks for getting back to us here, @cruise288.

I have some information about entering journal entries when recording manual payroll. Creating a journal entry that will affect your checking account will cause duplicate records. You'll want to change your checking account in your JE to a payroll liability account. This way, you can cut a check using your checking account.

If you need help with other tasks in QBO, you can browse for specific topics here and look for responses that fit your concern.
