Timesaving Tips for Accounting Professionals
Your clients hire you to help them with their payroll, but some requests can be time consuming. Here are some suggestions from other accounting professionals for handling details such as entering year-to-date payroll information, separating gross payroll into regular and bonus amounts in after-the-fact payroll, and setting up payroll for employees who work in more than one state. Please note, however, that these tips are meant for accounting professionals, and QuickBooks cannot support workarounds that have not been tested.
Year-to-Date Payroll
Although we recommend using the Payroll Setup feature to set up a client's payroll and enter year-to-date payroll information in QuickBooks, you can try this undocumented workaround. Learn more.
Gross Wages in After-the-Fact Payroll
To help your client comply with workers' compensation requirements, you might need to break a client's gross payroll into regular and bonus amounts and add two columns for the gross—after the fact. Learn how.
Multi-State Payroll
When some employees work in more than one state, setting them up in payroll can get complicated. Read these suggestions. Plus, for more tips about handling payroll for employees that live and work in different states, see the article "Tips for Multi-State Employers" in this issue of the QuickBooks Payroll Bulletin.
