Thanks for getting back to this thread, LGierich. I can guide you through adding the overhead item to a specific project.

You can utilize the item you've generated to allocate overhead costs by selecting the associating project from the Projects menu:

1. Go to the Projects menu and click the project you need to apply the overhead cost from the list.
2. Choose Expense or any transaction type you want to create from the Add to project dropdown.
   
3. Enter the Payee, Payment account used, Payment method, and Payment Date if necessary.
4. From the Item details section, select the overhead item in the Product/Service column.
5. Enter its Amount and tick Billable if you want to charge this to your customer. Otherwise, leave it unchecked.
6. You can also use the Description column to input the overhead expense details.
7. Double-check everything, and once done, hit Save and close.
   
   
   

Still, it's best to seek assistance from an accountant to ensure you've tracked this type of transaction accordingly in QuickBooks.

I've also added a resource that provides complete insights about overhead expenses: Overhead Costs: Meaning, Types, and Examples. This way, you can confidently handle them moving forward.
