Employees and payroll

Hey there, @bhk-rizzolaw-com.

Yes, you can create another payroll item to track the Officer Salaries separately from your other payroll expense account. Then, go to Payroll Setting to map these accounts in QuickBooks. This way, you don't need to create a journal entry to separate their tracking. 

Here's how:
 

1. Go to Settings and select Payroll settings.
2. Click Preferences, then select Accounting Preferences.
3. Under the Wage Expense Accounts, look for the payroll item that you've created and choose the payroll expense from the drop-down list.

Let me know if you need further assistance with this. I'm always around to provide answers and clarifications to your questions. Have a great day ahead and take care.
