Splitting Transaction

MASPenniesMASPennies Member Posts: 1

Client doesn't use Wave for Payroll. I need to record the payroll check that cleared the checking account. However we would like to record the gross - deductions=net
How I do this in other software programs is the check shows up in the bank feed I go into the transaction and split it. The total transaction is the gross the split is the deduction (a negative amount also a liability account) then it still matches the amount the check was written and cleared for (net amount).

How do I accomplish this on Wave?

    @MASPennies,
    I don't believe it will allow to split a withdrawal and create a higher positive amount to be offset with credits. You would need to to a payroll gross up entry.
    step 1 categorize the net to Salary and wages
    Next
    Debit Salaries and Wages for Gross
    Debit Employer tax expense (grossxFICA)
    Credit Payroll Liabilities (Employer FICA, Employee FICA and Employee Withholdings)
    Credit Salaries and wages for Net
    Salaries are now gross
