This types vedio helpfull for us. Who has not enough money to take training. Thank you a lot hector

[@ReigningUp]

Thank you for posting this, gives me a really good idea of how to set it up and what I need.

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

Great

[@jaialai6629]

Wish that Quick Books would just include all the different software when you first set up Quick Books. Don't like all the nickel and dimming. One Set up cost to open quick Books, then there is another cost for Payroll, then another cost 10 other things. Just put it all in one Startup cost and stop all the Nickeling and Dimming. By the time it's all said and done you have paid $1000 to get all the software that you need. Great work Hector.

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

Yeah, thats how it works now :(

How can I apply a different hourly rate within the same pay period? For example, an employee earns $25 per hour this week, but after their trial period, they will earn $30 per hour in QBO. Thank you!

No, its designed to be one rate

Your videos are awesome - you're such a great teacher! Do you have a video about running "Auto Payroll"? I'm anxious about trying it without knowing the exact process - I don't like taking chances with people's pay.

[@lisabell4008]

After their direct deposits go through, they show up in my bank transactions needing to be categorized. Its automatically labeled "quickbooks payments - uncategorized expense", do i need to go through and update each individual direct deposit to each employee in the "employee/vendor section" and how do i categorize it properly since it is not an uncategorized expense. Also, am I able to skip adding which employee the direct deposit was for?

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

Well, if you are using QuickBooks Payroll, all those payments should be automatically categorized, are you using an outside payroll company?

Hi Hector. I've been doing manual payroll for my s-corp, employee of one (have been paying online at IRS/EFTPS monthly to deposit taxes for 941 requirements, also paying state withholding monthly). I'm trying to convert to QB payroll, but when I try to add the payroll history it's not letting me continue -- it says I'm paying the wrong percentages (per 941 0.124 for social security wages, 0.029 for Medicare wages). Could you please tell me what the percentage of the monthly 941 deposits should be taken out of employee wage so I can move forward with QB automated payroll? Many thanks for your tutorials!

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

I dont answer payroll questions like that, its too sensitive, to get it wrong. Ask your accountant to help you with the calculation

1099 means they are contractors; not employees. So there is no special setup

What's your thoughts on ADP as a payroll service? My daughters use that from the accountants recommendation. We now have the same accountant who recommended them as well. I'm new to Quickbooks. Stumbled upon your video series which is greatly helping me understand how to use it. I normally do it myself, hours of looking through all our accounts to categorize it all for taxes. This looks much easier to use in general. I have 2 avenues of online sales channels. If they both pay me through our bank account, is it necessary to connect the sales channels at all? What would be the benefit if all I need is the net profit, which would be based on deposits in our bank account.

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

I like ADP. But with QB feels like you have a little more control.

Hi Hector, I was transitioning from QB desktop to QB online. Is there a way that I can pay employee commission only and track it to customer, class or project like on the QB desktop? I don't see it unless I create a timesheet for them, but the problem is they are paid by commission (piece of work) to different customer/project not an hourly rate.

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

Unfortunately, only works in timesheets; so the comission cannot be tracked by project
