Simultaneous Payrolls Possible?

Good day, centuryfarm.

Let me help with your payroll questions. 

Will you be saving the payroll as a paycheck or just the hours in the timesheet? If you will be creating paychecks, you can create the first set of transactions as scheduled payroll. Then, process the second one as an unscheduled paycheck. Just select Unscheduled Payroll after processing the paychecks for the second biweekly payroll in June. Then, enter the hours for the berry pickers.

You can follow the steps in this article for more details: How Do I Create a Paycheck For an Employee?.

If you will only be saving the hours in the timesheet, there's no option to separate hours. All of the time entries on the same date will be saved as one. The option to enter separate hourly data for another batch of payroll is also not possible if you're saving them using the Finish Later button. You'll need to process the paycheck first for the regular payroll before recording and saving the data for the berry pickers.

I'd also like to share these articles for additional guidance and reference:

• Create a Payroll Summary Report
• Print Your Paychecks in QuickBooks Desktop

Please know that you can always reply or reach out to us again if you have other questions. We'll make sure that everything is sorted out. 

Hi centuryfarm,

Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about processing two sets of payroll simultaneously. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at anytime.

Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!

Is QB able to keep both farm employees and non farm employees separate for the purpose of filing the forms 941 and 943 as well as the payroll deposits?

Maria

Let me explain how it works in QuickBooks, Maria.

We're unable to separate the employees. They will all show when you file the 941 form. Also, our program is still unable to support the 943 form. You can only generate a worksheet with the details of the 943 form.

However, as for payroll deposits, you can separate them. You can create the payroll for the farm employees first. Then, create the transactions last for the non-farm ones.

I'll include these articles to help you prepare the forms:

• Learn how to prepare and print Form 941, Schedule B, and Form 940.
• E-file 940, 941, and 944 tax forms

We'll be around if you have other payroll concerns. Feel free to reach out to us anytime. Take care!
