Employees and payroll

Thanks for getting in touch with us here, @CindyP3.

Yes, running payroll with these codes will create a liability since QuickBooks tracks the Workers Compensation as a payroll liability. To see the accounts affected by this item, follow the instructions listed below.

1. Go to the Lists menu and select Payroll Item List.
2. Right-click on the Workers Compensation item and select Edit Payroll Item.
3. Click Next. It will display the liability and expense account associated with the Workers Compensation item.
   

You can follow the steps listed from our guide on manually tracking Workers' Compensation in QuickBooks Desktop. At the bottom of the page, you can find steps on how to edit the rate, as well as the Experience Modification Factor.
