Export to Quickbooks

[Graciemae]

I am trying to use the export tool but I am having difficulty getting the setting in the tool set up to post the payroll info to the payroll liability account. I am also not seeing the employer owed taxes posted anywhere.

I have read the help on the tool and that only goes through the posting straight to the expenses rather than the liability accounts. There is also an extra button on the posting screen in the help info that I don't see in the actual tool.

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes we only can export the transactions performed in PayWindow. You would pay your tax liabilities using QuickBooks thus creating your entries using the tax liabilities from the Employer's Totals report in PayWindow.

What I am wanting to export is the standard payroll entries...Debit to Payroll expense and Credits to cash and the liability accounts. Payroll expenses should include the employer paid taxes as well as the increase to the liability account for those taxes.

We do not track payments that *you* make to pay the tax liabilities, PayWindow shows you what you should pay and it is up to you to be sure to pay and report that you've paid them.

There is no data to export for that from PayWindow like I said. You need to manually enter that into your accounting software by hand when you make the payments.

I understand that. I am not talking about the entry where I pay the taxes, I am talking about the entry where the taxes are accrued into the liability account. I want to export the taxes that were calculated from the checks to be transferred to the payroll liability account so that the liability account will increase.

That information is not accrued, it is created on the fly by the Employer's Totals report. PayWindow is a stand alone payroll system that does not require an accounting package like QuickBooks. We only export the actual transactions that you see and to do what you want, you will have to do what everyone else has been doing in QuickBooks, and that is to enter what you pay for your liabilities by hand using a general journal entry.
