How do I create a payroll report from a previous year for wages in the third quarter

I know a couple of steps to help you access the employee wages report and get your task done in just a moment, Alena.

To create a payroll report for wages in the third quarter of a previous year in QuickBooks Online (QBO), you'll need to filter the data by Custom to customize the date. Through this, QuickBooks will pull data based on the specific data you require.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Navigate to the Reports menu on the left sidebar.
3. In the search bar, type in Payroll Summary.
4. Once the report opens, select the appropriate date range by clicking the Custom option from the dropdown.
5. Specify the date range to cover the third quarter (for example, July 1, 2021, to September 30, 2021).
6. Click on the Apply or Run Report button to generate the payroll report for wages in the third quarter of the specified year.

Furthermore, if you run Employee Details or Payroll Summary by Employee Report for the year 2021 in QuickBooks Online, you can follow these steps:

1. Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
2. Navigate to the Reports menu on the left sidebar.
3. In the search bar, type in Payroll Summary by Employee or  Employee Detail Report. 

4. Once the report opens, click Custom from the dropdown and specify the date range to cover the entire year 2021 (for example, January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021). 

5. Click on the Apply or Run Report button to generate the employee report for the year 2021.
