Welcome to the Community, @Jandls.
I can share some information about setting up payroll in QuickBooks Desktop.
The way you record the entries in the system will depend on whether you're entering year-to-date payroll data or historical data. To help you decide, I suggest you visit the Enter historical payroll data article for some clarification about it.
For QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Assisted users, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support Team. One of them will need to take over to further assist you with entering prior transactions.
Here's how you can view the support details:
- Open QuickBooks Desktop.
- Go to Help, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
- Select Contact Us.
- Enter your concern, then select Continue.
- Choose a way to connect with us:
- Start messaging with a support expert.
- Get a callback from the next available expert.
Additionally, here are some helpful references that you can check out about setting up payroll:
Drop me a comment below if you have any other questions. I'll be more than happy to help. Wishing you a good one.
