Changing Payroll Ledger Accounts

Client converted from QB Desktop to QB Online last year.  It appears that he now has duplicate general ledger accounts (different descriptions) for all payroll transactions– OLD (Desktop)Bank Account, Liabilities, and Expenses and NEW (Online) Bank Account, Liabilities, and Expenses.  As a result, he has not been able to reconcile accounts.  If I merge the NEW ledger accounts into the OLD ledger accounts, will future payroll transactions start going to the OLD accounts or will I need to make additional adjustments

Changing Payroll Ledger Accounts

I'll help you in handling that, JBHATS.

 

After merging them, you'll want to make sure that the old accounts are set as the default tracking account in your accounting preferences. I'll show you how to do it:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon.
  2. Select Payroll Settings.
  3. Click the Edit icon in the Accounting section.
  4. Select the appropriate tracking account for your wage expenses, employer tax expenses, and tax liabilities.
  5. Click Continue, then Done.
