It's nice to see your post here. I got you, iDoc1600.
Our system automatically creates default accounts when your payroll service is configured to track your payroll responsibilities and expenses. Payroll wages will be posted on the expense account you've selected in the Payroll Settings.
Since all your payroll transactions depend on the account mapping set up in the Payroll preferences, you'll want t review it. I also suggest seeking professional help from your accountant or bookkeeper for better ways on handling this.
Here's how:
- In QBO, go to the Gear icon at the top right to get to the Payroll Settings.
- Click the Preferences tab at the top.
- In the Wage Expense Accounts section, ensure you've chosen the correct Wage Account in the drop-down.
- Review the other necessary information.
- Hit OK to save.
