Hi there, @jwl4444.
The responses above work for users using outside payroll vendors. As suggested, you can track your payroll transactions as journal entries from the +New icon. You can add your employees manually following these steps:
- Sign to your QBO account, then click on Payroll at the left pane.
- Select Employees, then Add an employee.
- If you want the employee to add some of their own info, enter the following in the Personal Info section:
- First and last name
- Hire date
- Email address
- Your employee gets an email inviting them to enter their Address, Social Security Number, W-4, and banking info through QuickBooks Workforce.
- Enter the info in each section, then hit Done.
