Hello there, @BAssociatesCPA.
Thank you for reaching out to our representatives in an attempt to fix the issue about gross and net pay as payroll expenses. I understand the need for accurate accounting as the program is accounting software. It's also imperative for businesses as it aids you in planning for adequate cash resources to monitor the progress of your business.
Upon checking, there's an active investigation (INV-90151) regarding this matter with the product team. I've verified that you're on the list of affected users attached to the report. You'll receive an email once a fix is available.
To learn more about using projects and payroll expenses, refer to this guide: Track hourly labor costs and profitability by project in QuickBooks Online.
Do you need help paying and filing your taxes after correcting the duplicate payroll expense, read through this article: Pay and file payroll taxes and forms in Online Payroll.
I'm just a click away if you need further assistance handling payroll expenses. Let me know in the comment section below if anything else comes up.
