Thanks for sharing your concern with us, Deadwood.
Once you've added a new workers' comp code in QuickBooks, its associated cost will only appear on reports after it's added to the paycheck.
If you want it to be part of your General Ledger, you'll have to delete and recreate the paychecks where they should be included.
Here's how to delete a paycheck:
- Go to the Banking menu and click Use Register.
- Select your bank account, then OK.
- Choose and open the check in question.
- At the top of the paycheck, select Delete.
- In the pop-up box, enter OK.
Once done, you can recreate the paychecks again. Make sure to clear the Use Direct Deposit option when doing this to avoid paying your employee twice.
- In the Review and Create Paychecks window, click Open Paycheck Detail.
- Clear the Use Direct Deposit option.
- Select Save & Close.
