Correctly record tips

I am trying to correctly record tips paid to employees. The POS system sends tips over to QBO into a liability account, but the tips are paid in cash after each shift. I need to create a journal entry to get the tips out of the liability account, but what would the other account be, including the type?

Correctly record tips

Thanks for reaching out to us here, @amanzella.

 

I'll share some information about recording tips. To create a journal entry for tips would mean debiting your cash and crediting your liability account. However, I recommend contacting your accountant to ensure you're recording it accordingly.

 

You can visit this link to find accountants based in US: Find a ProAdvisor.

 

In QuickBooks Payroll, tips are recorded in the payroll accounts automatically. Learn more about tips in the articles below.

 

 

I'm attaching this link in case you need help with other payroll-related tasks. It has our general payroll topics with articles, videos, and other posts to our Community contributors: QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

Feel free to swing by if you have follow-up questions or concerns with tips. I'll be around to help. Take care and have a good one.

Thank you ! The only cash account is petty cash, would I creat a new one specifically for tips and what should the type be ?
