I am having a similar issue. I do a journal entry to record sales. On the journal entry I post a credit to the Employee Tips clearing account. Then, on my payroll journal entry, I don't track it. I need to pist a debit to the account so I can clear it out. I know the offset is cash, but my journal entry already has the correct cash amount that ties out amd creates a match with the bank feed. In order to post the debit without changing my credit to cash, I would have to reduce the amount of my debit to wages by the amount I am debiting the Employee Tips clearing account. This will create a variance between my total wages in QBO and the total wages on our tax reports and payroll reports. I already have a variance due to the pre-tax employee healthcare deductions. I'm not sure what to do. It seems like there must be a better solution.
