Allow me to walk you through your goal, @kim ro.

I'll provide simple steps below, for us to navigate the employee and pay details. As well as, edit your Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).

Here's how:

1. In the left panel of your computer select Payroll.
2. Choose Employees.
3. Select the specific name of the employee. Once done, you can view your employee details there.
4. Scroll down then click the Edit icon beside Deductions and & contributions.
5. Look for your FSA and click the Pencil icon beside it.
6. Edit the amount per paycheck to adjust the limits of your FSA. Afterward, click Save.
     (Note: If you don't have FSA yet, you can click the + Add deduction/contribution to add it to your payroll).

For future reference, you read through this article if you want to run Payroll Reports.

Never hesitate to post again in the Community if additional concern about payroll is needed. We'll be happy to extend our hand. Have a  blessed year!

I got the answer to this question a long time ago. The answer you have posted is incorrect. I am replying only because I want others who may have found this in a search to know not to follow your steps. 
For my very specific issue that spawned this question, there is no self-help solution. It requires calling and having an agent perform a function that can only be done by quickbooks payroll help agents. 

In the desktop version, Payroll Items were tied to the Expense Account in the Chart of Accounts where the amount should be recorded, and to a Tax Tracking field of "Compensation", "Other", "Reported Tips" etc. I migrated to QBO this week and cannot find what replaced Payroll Items.  I see Pay Types under employees, but when you add one, it just gives you that type and how much per hour will be paid.  Where do I add which Expense Account that ties to in the Chart of Accounts and where do I set up Tax Tracking so it will be displayed on their W2 correctly.  We are a church and our minister gets paid a salary, plus an "Other" tax tracking Payroll Item of Housing.  I spent 2 hours on the phone with QB Payroll support and nobody can seem to answer this question.  The people I talked to didn't know anything about the desktop version.

I'm happy to provide the steps to change your accounting preference in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

You can add or edit your payroll account register for a specific item. Here is how:

1. Go to Settings ⚙, then Chart of Accounts.
2. Click New to add a new one. Or search for the account you want to edit, then select Edit from the View register ▼ dropdown.
3. From the Account Type ▼ dropdown, choose Expenses or Other Current Liabilities.
4. Depending on the account type you selected, choose a Detail type.
5. Add or rename the account name in the Name field.

Next is to update your payroll accounting preferences. Follow the steps below:

1. Go to Settings ⚙, then Payroll settings.
2. Click Edit ✎ next to Accounting. 
3. Select Edit ✎ to update a specific section.
4. Choose which account the transaction of the specific payroll item should go to. Then select Continue.

Please refer to this article for more details: Change your accounting preferences in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

Moreover, there is no need to set up tax tracking kinds because QBO has already configured the settings for the various payment types.
