How do i enter payroll history in QuickBooks Online

You can enter your prior payroll through the Payroll page, @pparisien.

First, prepare your pay history info. To do that, you'll need reports or pay stubs that show the total year-to-date amounts for every payroll item, such as gross pay, deductions, taxes, and net pay.

If you're starting in the middle of the year (i.e., in Quarter 2, 3, or 4), be sure to use pay stubs or reports dated on or before the last day of the most recently completed quarter. Here's a breakdown of the quarters:

• Quarter 1: January 1 – March 31
• Quarter 2: April 1 – June 30
• Quarter 3: July 1 – September 30
• Quarter 4: October 1 – December 31

After that, you're now ready to enter your payroll history. Before proceeding, ensure to sign in as a Primary Admin.

1. Be sure to include all employees paid this year in the Tell us about your team section, even those no longer with your company. Set up each pay item, deduction, contribution, and tax as listed on their pay stubs or reports.
2. Next to Add your payroll history, select Start.

You can find more details in Step 3 of the article, Add pay history to QuickBooks Online Payroll.
