Thanks for reaching out to us, Chuck2020.

I'll make sure you'll be able to assign them to the proper payroll expenditures account and update the state that doesn't withhold taxes.

You'll have the option to change the accounting preferences to track your payroll transactions. I'll show you how.

2. Select Payroll settings.
3. Click the Edit pencil icon under the Accounting area.
4. Hit the Edit pencil icon under the Wage expenses field.
5. Select the Each employee's wages are posted to different types of accounts box.
6. Assign each wage to their respected accounts.
7. Hit Continue, then Done.

Does that change it for all employees?  Each employee is paid from their own salary line and each have at lease a reimbursable.  The pastor has housing on top of the other two. 

I want pastor paid out of pastor salary

music leader paid from music salary

pastor housing paid from pastor salary line 

pastor reimbursable paid from the reimbursable line

youth pastor paid from his salary line.  Etc???

I recognize how important it is to pay your employees accurately, Chuck2020. I'm here to help you with that.

You can assign your employees' salary lines by manually adding them to the Pay type field. Then, modify the correct account by following the steps shared by my colleague.

Here's how to add a pay type:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and then select Employees.
2. Locate the name of the employee, then click it.
3. Under How much do you pay [Employee's name], select Add additional pay types.
4. On the Pay type field, add the name and rate. 
5. Click Save, then Done.
6. Repeat the steps for the other employees.

For more details, please see this article: Add or Change Pay Types.

Once done, make sure the correct accounts are assigned to the pay types. To do this, please see Step 5 above. For visual reference, I've attached a screenshot below.

To learn more info on how pay types affect your employees, I'd suggest checking out this article: Taxability Of Pay Types and Deductions.

You can also visit this article to learn how to pay back your employees: Record Reimbursement.

Additionally, I've added an article that'll help you provides general information and suggestions for setting up your 501(c)(3) organization in your account. This ensures your tracking is accurate: Payroll as Nonprofit Organization or Church.

I'm only a post away if you need more help in managing payroll. It's always my pleasure to help you out again.

I know how to make the salary portion of his check to come out of the salary chart of account line... but his check includes salary, housing, and reimbursable... all in one check.. how do I get housing and reimbursable to come out of their chart of accounts.... so each weekly check would deduct from 3 separate lines in the chart of accounts...?
