I use transaction reports to request reimbursement for grant-funded project expenses. However, the report does not show SIMPLE IRA company contributions. I've attached a screen shot to show the payroll items that do show up. SIMPLE IRA is also not showing upon Payroll Transaction Reports. How can I get the SIMPLE IRA on this report?

I ensured that the transaction report filters were set as you suggested and it did not help. I am able to see the SIMPLE IRA on the employee earnings summary but that does not solve my problem because the earnings summary can't be filtered by job (which in my case is a grant). I need to provide a report to the grantor with all expenses charged to a specific grant in order to be reimbursed. I checked my payroll item list and SIMPLE IRA company contribution "type" is listed as a Company Contribution while the others are have types like hourly wage, etc. Is it possible the report is not pulling in that type? And how can it be fixed?
I also just realized that your answer was focused on Payroll transaction reports. I am using the more general Transaction Detail report as the base because I need to report all transactions including payroll by Job.
Appreciate the update, @LizB. I'll help generate your report.
Let's run the QuickBooks utility to determine why the company contribution is not showing on your payroll transaction report. I'll show you how.

Please take more time reading before replying. I need the SIMPLE IRA expenses to show up on a TRANSACTION DETAIL REPORT, not a payroll report.

I appreciate your time in getting back here, LizB.
