Payroll entry

I am having trouble understanding how the entries are processed in Quickbooks for Payroll.  I processed payroll and the debit is showing on the expense account.  The credit should be to a payroll liabilities entry.  Then when the check is cashed there should be a credit to the bank account which I can categorize to the payroll liabilities account.  I would be left with a debit to payroll expense, a credit for the cash outflow, and a 0 balance in the payroll liabilities account.  I don't think this is how Quickbooks processes the transactions.

The reason I am asking is because I see the debit to the expense and I have the transaction of the outflow imported from my bank.  Apparently for some extremely frustrating reason I cannot use the match function to match the bank transaction.  Quickbooks told me I needed to categorize the transaction to the checking account which also did not help because it just leaves a net zero effect in the account.  But I cannot exclude the transaction which was another Quickbooks employee suggestion because then the account would not reconcile.  I need help and I don't know where to go because the assistance I am receiving from Quickbooks help is not helpful at all.  Has anyone else experienced this??
