I'm here to help figure out why categorized payroll transactions are included in your reports, @golfbaysgc-hope-.
To assist you further, could you let us know if you are using manual payroll or if the payroll transactions are processed through paychecks in QuickBooks? This information will help us provide you with more accurate guidance.
If you are using manual payroll, please ensure that you have selected the correct expense account for categorizing your payroll transactions. In most cases, as long as there have been no changes in your accounting preferences within the payroll settings, the transactions should be categorized correctly.
For manual payroll, it is crucial to use the appropriate expense account when recording the transactions. Double-check that you have selected the correct account to ensure accurate reporting.
Additionally, when generating reports, please review the date range to ensure that it covers the period during which the payroll transactions were processed. Adjusting the date range accordingly will help ensure that the transactions are included in the report.
