Thanks for reaching out here in the Community, @KeeperOfTheBook. I'd be happy to help you so you can manually enter paychecks in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
To manually enter paychecks, you'll want to create accounts in your chart of accounts first for tracking purposes. If you already have the accounts, you can proceed to create a journal entry to enter the paychecks into QBO. To begin, here's how:
- Get your employees' payroll pay stubs or a payroll report from your payroll service.
- Select + New.
- Select Journal Entry.
- Under the Journal date, enter the paycheck date.
- If you want to track the paycheck number, enter it in the Journal no. field.
You can use the info from your payroll report to create the journal entry. If you paid multiple employees for the pay period, you can combine all of their paycheck totals into one journal entry. You can also consider creating a separate journal entry for each employee if you need to break out the details.
Refer to this article for further guidelines about this: Manually enter payroll paychecks in QuickBooks Online.
In addition, you can also reach out to your third-party app to integrate it with your QBO account. This way, they'll be the one who'll be paying the people and handle your the taxes.
