Payroll Liabilities

[wmorgenstern]

I have a question on the Payroll Liabilities.
When I setup the Payroll, for Deductions and Liabilities, I have to enter a Liability account (e.g. Social Security Matching and Social Security Employee, Medicare Matching and Medicare Employee, and also for State Withholdings and Federal Withholdings.
Now we need to pay the IRS every month, and the State of Michigan every quarter.
How do I enter these payments? I know I need to use Open Invoices,
and when I enter the Bank Account for the check. But what about the Debit Account? Does that have to be the Liability account (so that is reduced), or do I need to create a new expense account to track that?
When I would print out the Income/Expense Report, these "expenses" (liabilities) would not show up (because the Liability account is not an expense or income account).
Can somebody help me?
Thanks

you expense these items when you cut the check. take a look at your GROSS salary setup, it expenses for the whole check, including deductions.

so the rest of what you said applys to record and then pay off the liablilty.
