<h2 data-start="975" data-end="1030">Common Reasons Payroll Is Not Showing in QB Accounts</h2>
<p data-start="1032" data-end="1183">There are several reasons why payroll submissions may not appear in QuickBooks. Understanding the root cause is the first step toward fixing the issue.</p>


<h3 data-start="1185" data-end="1226">1. Payroll Not Processed Completely</h3>
<p data-start="1227" data-end="1394">Sometimes payroll is created but not fully submitted. If you saved payroll without clicking &ldquo;Submit&rdquo; or &ldquo;Create Paychecks,&rdquo; the data will not reflect in your accounts.</p>
<h3 data-start="1396" data-end="1437">2. Sync Issues in QuickBooks Online</h3>
<p data-start="1438" data-end="1616">For QuickBooks Online users, syncing delays can prevent payroll entries from appearing immediately. Browser cache problems or internet connectivity issues may also block updates.</p>
<h3 data-start="1618" data-end="1652">3. Incorrect Account Mapping</h3>
<p data-start="1653" data-end="1779">If payroll items are not mapped correctly to expense or liability accounts, payroll data might not show in reports or ledgers.</p>
<h3 data-start="1781" data-end="1817">4. Outdated QuickBooks Version</h3>
<p data-start="1818" data-end="1915">Using an outdated version of QuickBooks Desktop or Online can cause payroll integration problems.</p>
<h3 data-start="1917" data-end="1961">5. Payroll Service Subscription Issues</h3>
<p data-start="1962" data-end="2086">If your payroll subscription is inactive or expired, submissions may fail silently without updating your accounting records.</p>
<p data-start="2088" data-end="2197">If you're unsure what&rsquo;s causing the issue, contact <strong data-start="2139" data-end="2158">[phone]</strong> for expert troubleshooting assistance.</p>
