Hi. I'm trying to setup my Chart of Accounts to handle 3rd-party (not Quickbooks) payroll under the Cash method of accounting. Based on another thread (referenced below), it seems creating a Payroll Expense account would be sufficient...? In which case, the resulting journal entry when payroll is run would look like this: 

Debit 'Payroll Expense' account for takehome pay.

Debit 'Payroll Expense' account for all tax payments (both employee + employer).

Credit 'Cash/Checking Account'.

Can anyone confirm?
