First, I am the accountant
Second, it was not "my own way" of accounting for tips. In 2021 QBO Payroll mapped "tips out" to the expense account. For some reason that was changed in 2022. Why not allow the customer to map the account to where it was mapped previously?
I understand that QBO is trying to dumb down accounting so that the average business person can use the software without an accountant. What I don't understand is why you won't allow those of us who know what we're doing to use Payroll to it's full extent.
My solution is to do a journal entry after each (weekly) payroll so that my P&L is correct. This is an extra step for me when it should happen correctly in QBO when the payroll is processed.
