Hi there, Abby.
Yes, you can sort your employees per branch/department. I'm here to guide you on how.
If you had added a custom field for branch/department, you may open two reports to sort your employees with their taxes or contributions.
Here's how:
- Open your QuickBooks Desktop, then go to the Reports tab.
- Click on Employees & Payroll, then open the report that displays your employees' contributions/deductions (Payroll Transaction Detail, Payroll Item Detail).

- Review the information from there.
- After that, open the Employee Contact List report from the Employees & Payroll.

- Add the Department field/column from the Customize Report window.
Once done, export both reports to Excel and customize the data from there.
