My accountant says to be careful when picking a plan as most will not file the monthly, quarterly, annual tax reports and you end up doing them yourself. Could you please expand on that?? I’m trying to decide which is better to try and do myself or just pay accountant to handle payroll (s corp, 1 employee). Thank you!
Wish that Quick Books would just include all the different software when you first set up Quick Books. Don't like all the nickel and dimming. One Set up cost to open quick Books, then there is another cost for Payroll, then another cost 10 other things. Just put it all in one Startup cost and stop all the Nickeling and Dimming. By the time it's all said and done you have paid $1000 to get all the software that you need. Great work Hector.
When the FICA taxes are paid. Are the employee and employer portions combined and paid or are they paid with separate payments? Also, does the balance sheet show the balances of all the income tax payable accounts?
Your videos are awesome - you're such a great teacher! Do you have a video about running "Auto Payroll"? I'm anxious about trying it without knowing the exact process - I don't like taking chances with people's pay.
Hi Hector. I've been doing manual payroll for my s-corp, employee of one (have been paying online at IRS/EFTPS monthly to deposit taxes for 941 requirements, also paying state withholding monthly). I'm trying to convert to QB payroll, but when I try to add the payroll history it's not letting me continue -- it says I'm paying the wrong percentages (per 941 0.124 for social security wages, 0.029 for Medicare wages). Could you please tell me what the percentage of the monthly 941 deposits should be taken out of employee wage so I can move forward with QB automated payroll? Many thanks for your tutorials!
Hi Hector, thank you very much for your videos. I paid a 3-month Quickbooks subscription to learn how to use it, my question is: I am inventing all the information that I am providing (I put my children's names, not their SS numbers as employees) and I invented a false company, will it have consequences for me later? That is, is there a problem with the IRS for filling out this non-existent payroll and tax information?
Thank you for the great info. I'm new to online QB. I merged my info from the desktop version. I'm struggling to figure out how to make changes to ss and med. My employee and employer amounts to not match. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. They have NOT been any help. Praying you can help me. TIA
Hi Hector, If possible, can you please make a Quickbooks video about S-Corp employer working as 1099 and drawing a salary as an employee of the same S-Corp via running a Bi-weekly / Monthly Payroll. And, Quickbooks gives gives the Snapshot for both, employee and employer activities. Thanks.
Héctor, I hope you are doing well I am taking the Pro advisor QbO certification to start my bookkeeping side hustle job. In your experience what would it be the first and most important step to take before I start Thank you
Hello Mr. Garcia, Can you please show us how to categorize QB Payroll in a journal entry? I have to split payroll based on locations but not sure how to make it work. I have search tirelessly and just cannot find any tutorials on how to make this work. Thank you!
@@judyglidden675 it matters 100% QB Payroll does not require any journal entries. It doesn everything on its own. If you need to "spread" the costs accross locations, then just do a journal entry
I have QB online payroll and it stopped automatically entering the payroll taxes that QB automatically pays on my check register. Any thoughts why this has stopped working?
Can you explain how to add a employer contribution for child care expense so that it reflects on box 10 of their W2? I'm not able to find how to do this anywhere. Thank you!
What's your thoughts on ADP as a payroll service? My daughters use that from the accountants recommendation. We now have the same accountant who recommended them as well. I'm new to Quickbooks. Stumbled upon your video series which is greatly helping me understand how to use it. I normally do it myself, hours of looking through all our accounts to categorize it all for taxes. This looks much easier to use in general. I have 2 avenues of online sales channels. If they both pay me through our bank account, is it necessary to connect the sales channels at all? What would be the benefit if all I need is the net profit, which would be based on deposits in our bank account.
Hello Sir I am unable to set the payroll in direct deposit neither qbo is allowing me to set up tax payments autopay The entity is new as well as bank account We reached out the support several time more than 2 months but they're still looking into why the direct deposit is not working Can please advise
If you are converting from QB Desktop where you had assisted payroll to QB Online, will employee information transfer or will the employee set up have to be done manually?
Can we process payroll with QB Online while waiting for the state tax ID? One Quickbooks agent told me that I can just enter a random number to tax ID box and update it later once I receive the tax ID from the state. Is it correct? Thank you for all of your wonderful videos
Is there some magical thing that needs to be done to fix Payroll Journal Sync Errors? We migrated from Desktop to Online and have done 2 payrolls which have not been synced. We have been on the phone with QB Experts at least once a day almost every day since the 20th of February with no resolution. Can you help with this?
How do I enter payroll history for employees prior to starting up QuickBooks Online? The company I work for manually entered and paid paychecks and paid taxes by paper check/mail. The transactions are in QBO because they were uploaded from bank feeds, they just weren't run through the actual QBO payroll process. (she just entered them as checks) I need employees' W-2s to reflect the entire year and not just 10 months. I have all of the data but need from their paper payroll reports but need it reflected in QuickBooks. I hope that makes sense. Can you help??
After their direct deposits go through, they show up in my bank transactions needing to be categorized. Its automatically labeled "quickbooks payments - uncategorized expense", do i need to go through and update each individual direct deposit to each employee in the "employee/vendor section" and how do i categorize it properly since it is not an uncategorized expense. Also, am I able to skip adding which employee the direct deposit was for?
Hi Hector, Can we change the answer the first question to No. because the previous employer paid for the employees before we took over, for which i said yes, while setting up.. but i do not have that info with me to give in the payroll history. Pls suggest!! Thank You!
Not possible.. you can only do “payroll with the module. Otherwise you just enter a check/expense/journal to account for payroll transactions outside of QB

Hi Hector, I was transitioning from QB desktop to QB online. Is there a way that I can pay employee commission only and track it to customer, class or project like on the QB desktop? I don't see it unless I create a timesheet for them, but the problem is they are paid by commission (piece of work) to different customer/project not an hourly rate.
@@HectorGarciaCPA Thank you for answering. I am a big fan. Would you recommend if we are a construction company and a contractor to integrate in QB online?
How can I apply a different hourly rate within the same pay period? For example, an employee earns $25 per hour this week, but after their trial period, they will earn $30 per hour in QBO. Thank you!

Payroll is a multi step process, specially if there is any kind of direct deposit configuration
When the FICA taxes are paid. Are the employee and employer portions combined and paid or are they paid with separate payments? Also, does the balance sheet show the balances of all the income tax payable accounts?

There is no easy way to do it. You can only import a limited set of data via the Payroll menu

Most will, but there is a setup process that needs to happen prior to you running payroll on QBO
