Question

In Quickbooks online, how do I pay my payroll liabilities that are not government taxes (think RRSP, Group Benefits etc.)? In desktop, I used "Pay Payroll Liabilities".

I have no problem finding and paying the government remittances but am stuck with everything else. Do I create an expense for it?

Hi, Darlene.

 

QuickBooks Online does not have a dedicated feature for paying payroll liabilities like the Desktop version does. However, you can still record and pay these liabilities using the expense option you mentioned.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. On the expense page, click the drop-down arrow next to the Payee field and select the vendor you are paying.
  2. Choose the Bank Account or Credit Account from which the payment will be made.
  3. In the Category Details, select the liability account that tracks these deductions (for example, RRSP Payable or Benefits Payable).
  4. Click Save and close to complete the transaction.

 

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions or need further guidance.
