Using a Staffing Company

They are not your employee so all payroll taxes and reports are paid and filed by the staffing company.  You will need to get a W-9 form from the staffing company and if applicable based on the W-9 form,  may be eligible for a 1099 at year end. All payments to the staffing company should hit an expense account such as professional fees.

I can help you classify your company staffing in QuickBooks Desktop payroll, @klm4mchr.

To properly handle your staffing company's tax processes, I recommend contacting your tax agency and tax expert. This way, they can help you with an accurate classification for your taxes.
