Employees and payroll

I write paperchecks and I didn't change the account the check is written from.

We have a defined benefit plan (CALPERS, PEPRA) 401(a). While setting up retirement contributions, it is not listed. What do I do when QB's retirement plans do not match what we have for deductions? 

I read that the payroll forms/information doesn't get backed up.As I plan on doing a company backup to restore to another computer I need assistance on getting payroll forms reset on new PC.Quickbooks Enterprise 2023Thanks in advance,Steve Tardell

We filed w-2's already, and now realize we need to report personal use of a company vehicle for the owner of the business. How would I do this? File an amended w2, or some other way?

I want to set up direct deposit for a few of my subcontractors. Not all of them will use this service. Will the contractors I have to pay via check, venmo, etc. still have the electronic filing offered for the 1099's since I will be paying for the service? Will their information be sent electronically for me to the IRS, same as the contractors I am paying by direct deposit? 

One of my employees who left and has returned has a symbol in their Employee listing that looks like a dollar bill with a lightning bolt through it. I know this symbol on another employee caused me trouble; I had to create a whole new account for them. What is this symbol, and why do only a very few of my employees have it?

I am currently using Quick Books Enterprise for tracking invoices, making payments and payroll. Is there is a way I can assign an employee how many hours they are eligible and quick books can automatically add vacation hours accrued in every pay check. This is available in other payroll providers not sure if it is available in Quick Books Enterprise. We give one week of vacation after completed one year working with us. After 6 years completion we give 2 weeks of vacation.  How to do this in QB enterprise?

There are no option to edit what I did wrong. How can I fix this?

Hi - when running a QBO "Profit and Loss by Customer" Report there are Payroll Expenses assigned to a Customer Project called "NOT SPECIFED." When we review the specified Payroll Expenses (e.g., Taxes and Wages) assigned to Customer Project "NOT SPECIFIED" (actual column name) they are Payroll Expenses associated with employee paid time off (PTO). Is there a way to assign PTO related Payroll Expenses (e.g., Taxes, Wages, Health Insurance, Retirement) to the project they should be assigned to - the project the employee is assigned to? We're using QBO Projects and our employees enter their time by Project in QB Time. We export all hours to QBO Advanced using the "QB Export Approved Time" button in QB Time, and then run Payroll using QBO Payroll Premium. Everything else seems to work, except for Expenses associated with PTO. If you run a QBO P&L by Customer report, or just click on the project overview in QBO Projects, you do not get accurate reporting if employees take PTO. Payroll E

We are in the process of setting up SEP IRA's for our 2 employees. I started the setup in Quickbooks for their contributions. Their last paycheck shows a contribution was made to their SEP but we have not contributed yet. The contribution is showing up in our P&L and I cannot see how to delete it since it never actually happened.

where can I find company 941 filings in quickbooks

It appears in QB online payroll, I have 2 entries, It appears that I created an incorrect entry in the correct account and the system generated an entry in the wrong account because at that time we didn't have a payroll account.  The entry in the wrong account is probably driving all the correct tax and wages entries  If I create   a journal entry for the whole payroll transaction in the correct account would it be ok to delete the 2 entries sitting in the account right now?

We had an employee that was set up a vendor and I filed a 1099 form for this person. Since then I have put them into the payroll and have been able to create a w-2 for this person but I am needing to amend the 1099 that I should not have filed for that recipient. Can anyone help with this ?

Hello,  My client issued DD for paycheck whereas forgot to create a paycheck for last year  I noticed while doing books as Bank reconciliation was off for last year.

We recently set up a SIMPLE IRA plan where we match up to 3%. How do I create the expense category for the Company match expense?

Hi,I'm not sure if this is more appropriate as an "Expense" discussion topic, but I am trying to enter a monthly Medicare expense for an employee which the company will carry.  Would the expense be entered in the "Health Insurance" (Other Current Liability connected to Payroll), or just a monthly expense?  The only expense type I am seeing in the Chart of Accounts, for example, is "Insurance" or "Liability Insurance".  Thanks! 

I contacted QuickBooks Payroll Help due to my company receiving an error PS038 when trying to process company weekly payroll. It was not allowing the proper Payroll Updates to process and therefore not calculating tax on paychecks. I was then contacted by a support representative named Bryan. He informed me that our file was completely corrupted, and we would not be able to process payroll until spending $5,995 for a 1-year subscription for a Data Analysis Specialist to fix our file. If we did not do this, he claimed we would never be able to process payroll. This was an outright lie. After preforming further research on the error message in the QuickBooks Community, it turned out we just needed to update our system from QuickBooks 2022 to QuickBooks 2023. We then found out our Intuit Payroll subscription was not in good standing. We followed the below steps to fix it and then were able to process payroll as normal: 1. Log into the company as Administrator2. Go to Employees>My

We use direct deposit for our employees.  Only two of our employees get the email from QB Workforce alerting them that their paystub is ready to be viewed.  How do I get QB to generate the emails.  I went to employees, manage cloud services, selected invite employees, signed  in - hoping to reinvite people.  But I cannot get past this screen.  I get a screen that says by signing in I agree to the license agreement and privacy statement - and there is no where to accept this.

Two new employees are marked as needing more informaton. When I go to their details everything is there. I can't find any place where more details are needed.  I'm unable to run payroll due to this. Can anyone help?thanks!

I've received a check stub for this week but still am getting a message that payroll needs to run. Help!

I know employee withholding is not an expense as it's already accounted for in the gross pay expense.  That automatically posts to the correct payroll liabiliites account.  The employer portion of the taxes posts as a payroll expense, which is also correct.  BUT...when the 941 files it pays both the employee withholding AND the employer portion and posts as a reduction of my payroll liability, again just as it should.  The only issue is that the employer portion never posts to the payroll liability account.  Is there a way to AUTOMATICALLY have the expense posted to the liability account as well?  Is this a manual entry I need to make each payperiod to post to the payroll tax liability account so it will show correctly on my balance sheet?  Right now my balance sheet shows I've overpaid all my payroll taxes by the amount of my employer portion of taxes.  How do I fix this?
