Thank you for sharing detailed information about your situation, @Ospivey321.
Based on the PDF attachment you've shared with us, the negative amounts you are referring to in QuickBooks Online are the credit balances, which are normal for payroll liability accounts. QBO displays these as negatives to represent liabilities, so there’s nothing wrong with your data.
To show you how to create the Journal entries for the paychecks you created outside of QuickBooks, you can refer to this article as a reference: Manually enter payroll paychecks.
Let us know if you have further questions. We'll be right here to help you any time.
