QuickBooks offers a variety of reports that help you streamline your work with ease. I'll be happy to share more info so you can continue to do the things you love.
Based on what you've described, I recommend running the Payroll Details report as it shows you the full details concerning your employee0' payroll. You can filter the report dates so they show the exact range you're looking to work with. Here's how to run the report:
Click Reports on the left pane.
Enter Payroll Details in the Go to report search box.
