Payroll Checks With QB
Q:
Subject: Payroll checks
Hi Kerry,Is it possible to create payroll checks in the regular check runs in Quick Books without having to purchase the payroll program from Intuit? Please advise.Thanks
A:
You can and should print the payroll checks through QuickBooks.
Just enter the check info with split detail, starting with the Gross Salary as a positive number and then a negative number for each item withheld.
Not using the QB Payroll Service just means that it won't calculate the withholdings for you or prepare the payroll tax returns. As long as you are willing to do those things manually on your own, this will work fine.
I hope this helps.
Kerry
Follow-Up:
Will do. Thanks Kerry!
