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:

 

  1. In QBO, go to the Gear icon at the top right to get to the Payroll Settings.
  2. Click the Preferences tab at the top.
  3. In the Wage Expense Accounts section, ensure you've chosen the correct Wage Account in the drop-down.
  4. Review the other necessary information.
  5. Hit OK to save.

For more insight about managing your current payroll preferences in QBO, consider checking out this article: Payroll accounting preferences.

 

Please let me know if you have any additional payroll concerns or issues by leaving a comment in this thread. I'm always here to answer them. Have a great day!
