Warm greetings, gail41. I'm here to shed some light regarding the categorization of payroll expenses in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE).
QBSE helps self-employed individuals track income, expenses, mileage, and tax information. However, it does not have a feature to directly categorize payroll expenses as it is not designed to manage employee payroll.
If you'll categorize your payroll expenses, I recommend you consult your accountant. It will ensure the proper categorization of your transactions. If you don't have one, you can find a professional through this link: https://quickbooks.intuit.com/find-an-accountant/.
Furthermore, your accountant can refer to our article about the different categories available in QBSE.
Moreover, if you want a detailed list of all your transactions, you can run a report and export it into a CSV file. It will also provide a breakdown of your income and expenses.
I'm always here to back you up whenever you require further assistance concerning your transactions, such as expenses in QBSE. Best wishes!
