Wages-chart of accounts

Let me help you go over to your account and have your total payroll show on their respective wages account, sandywat.

You might want to check your Accounting Preferences if the default account used was changed. Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon at the upper right corner and choose PayrollSettings.
    
2. Go to the Preferences tab and click Accounting Preferences.
    
3. From the Wage Expense Accounts, double-check all the accounts used.
    

If the wages accounts are set up correctly, performing the recommended basic troubleshooting steps will resolve the issue. Let's access your account in incognito mode. You can use any of these keyboard shortcuts to launch a private window on different browsers:

• Google Chrome: press Ctrl + Shift + N  
• Mozilla Firefox: press Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: press Command + Shift + N

Once signed in, go back to your chart of accounts and check if it's still showing under one wages account. If it rectifies the problem, clear the browser's cache. Clearing the history or log of sites resolves most issues with the web pages.

However, if the problem persists, either delete and recreate the transactions. and ensure to use the correct wages account or record a journal entry or post them on the right ledger.

Please be reminded that using this method (journal entry) needs the assistance of an accounting professional for the accounts you need to use. Also, your accountant can help and guide you on which account to debit and credit
