Recording of customer support salaries

To record customer support salaries in QuickBooks, you will typically create paychecks for your employees who are providing customer support. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Method: Create a Paycheck for Employee Salaries

1. Log in to QuickBooks: Open your QuickBooks account and make sure you’re in the correct company file.
2. Set Up Payroll (if not already done):
   • If you haven’t set up payroll in QuickBooks, you’ll need to do that first. This involves entering employee information, tax details, and other relevant payroll information.
3. Create a Paycheck:
   • Go to the “Employees” menu and select “Pay Employees.”
4. Select Employees:
   • Choose the employees who are receiving salaries for providing customer support.
5. Payroll Schedule:
   • Select the appropriate payroll schedule for the customer support salaries.
6. Pay Period:
   • Choose the pay period for which you’re paying the salaries.
7. Enter Salary Details:
   • Enter the salaries for each employee. This includes regular pay, any overtime, and any deductions or additions. You can also specify the hours worked.
8. Review and Create Paychecks:
   • Review the paycheck details for accuracy.
   • Click “Create Paychecks” to generate the paychecks.
9. Process Paychecks:
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the payroll processing, including paying the customer support salaries.
10. Pay Liabilities (if applicable):
    • If you have payroll tax liabilities, you may need to pay them through QuickBooks.

Please note that the specific steps and features available in QuickBooks might vary depending on your version of the software and your subscription level, especially if you are using QuickBooks Payroll. Make sure your payroll settings are correctly configured to reflect your company’s payroll policies and tax obligations.

By following these steps, you can accurately record and pay customer support salaries in QuickBooks. This method is for employees who are part of your company’s payroll. If you are paying non-employee vendors or contractors for customer support services, you might use the method for recording expenses rather than creating paychecks.
