In the spirit of the season, we’re bringing some welcome changes to QuickBooks to add dynamic improvements to your work.

New! One-page payroll summaries show you the cost of every employee

In a nutshell: This is has been one of our top requests from small business owners, and we’re thrilled to announce it’s here. You can now get a bird’s-eye view of all your employees’ payroll information on one page—including wages, deductions, and tax data—so you can learn more in less time. 

How it works: Access your payroll summary in the Reports tab of QuickBooks Online. You can sort the report by time period, employee type, work location, and other variables. Once you’ve chosen your filters, simply select Run Report to get a fast, clear understanding of each and every employee’s financial impact. 

Select a specific line item to see a detailed report for a given employee, including individual paycheck details for the period.
