Payroll Journal Entry Report?

This is unacceptable and why Quickbooks online is not as good as Quickbooks desktop.  This is a normal accounting report and is not available without building it myself.  

The same reports available in the desktop version, specifically employee journal in excell, should be available in the online version.

Hi there, PWellman.

I know the steps of how you can run a journal entry report for employees in QuickBooks Online.

If you want to run a report with multiple journal entries, you can follow the steps below:

1. Go to the Reports menu.
2. Type in "Journal" in the search bar, then select it
3. Click on Customize, then make the following customization: 
   
   a.  ​For General, choose the date.
   b.  For Rows/Columns, uncheck Name, then select Employee.
   c.   Filter — Select Transaction Type, then choose Journal Entry from the drop-down.
    
4. Hit Run report.
5. To print, select the Print icon. To export the report to Excel or as PDF, select the Export icon.

To learn how you can print a single journal entry report, I've added this article as a reference: Print a journal entry report in QuickBooks Online

Let me know if you have other concerns about journal entries or reports in QuickBooks. I'll be here to assist.

This does not seem to give a report of the journal entries made by QB Payroll. It does give a report of Journal entries made my the user in the specified period. I can select Employee as directed and it does not include Employee name in the column.

I need to see the journal posting for a given payroll run that is inclusive of the Paycheck Tips entered in the payroll  module.

Thanks

The Journal report offers a comprehensive list of journal postings for every payroll transaction. It will display separate lines for bank, wage expense, and payroll liability postings. If you assigned a specific wage expense account for paycheck tips, it will also have a separate line item in the report.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Reports menu and type in Journal in the Search bar.
2. Click Customize in the upper-right hand corner.
3. Scroll-down to the Filter section.
4. Check the box for Name, then select all employees that you need.
5. Check the box for Transaction type and look for Payroll Check.
6. Click Run report.
