I am thinking of moving from QB Payroll to Gusto after the new year. This is a really good video on setting up integration between Gusto and QBO. Thanks Sarah!

[@SmallBusinessSarah]

I honestly love Gusto for payroll! I hope you do too!

Hi Sarah. This video has been very helpful. Can you provide feed back on how to map NY State Disability Ins, and Family Leave Ins. from Gusto to QBO?

[@SmallBusinessSarah]

I would just create individual expense and liability accounts for each of those.

For some reason, when I try to map taxes receivable in Gusto, the "Payroll Taxes Receivable" account that we imported to the QB chart of accounts is not found. Any ideas on what I may have done wrong? Can't figure it out.

[@SmallBusinessSarah]

This happens to me too! I included it on the CSV because technically it should work, but I have no idea why it doesn't. I have yet to need the payroll taxes receivable account, but Gusto requires it. So I just create an account in the asset section of the balance sheet, but I choose a different account type, other than accounts receivable.

Any experience connecting and syncing Projects and Classes from Gusto to QB Online?

[@SmallBusinessSarah]

I haven't gone into that level of minutia when syncing Gust to QB.

[@bradsappenfield2936]

@@SmallBusinessSarah, thanks for your response. We are in the middle of an integration right now and having some minor technical issues

Just to confirm, payroll gets recorded as expenses and not liabilities? Is that because Gusto is really doing all the work?

[@SmallBusinessSarah]

Kind of. I think I know what you're saying. You yourself are not holding the money to send to the taxing authorities, so on your end, it goes straight to expense. Gusto takes the money and then later sends it to the taxing authorities.
