We have 2 employees who are owners and have the additional pay type "S-Corp Owners Health Insurance" on and it's populated with our monthly health insurance premium for our monthly payroll.

 

In the PL report this expense show up under Company Contributions -> Health Insurance as Payroll Check transaction type in the Payroll Expenses:Company Contribution:Health Insurance account.

 

It also shows up  Payroll Expenses -> Wages as Payroll Check transaction type in Payroll Expenses:Wages with the Memo "S-Corp Health Insurance - Company Contribution" account.

 

Why are there 2 entries for the same expense? How can this be fixed?

 

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply but those 2 accounts are part of QB Online Payroll process. 

 

S-Corp Owners Health Insurance can only be mapped to the Payroll Liabilities sub-accounts.

 

Since the company pays the full premium it shows in Company Contribution Account and I think QB payroll adds it to Wages account because it is taxed as compensation.
