QB Issue Resolution:
Yes, this is Correct: “The company contributions are also going to the same liability account, however, they are also being expensed as employer contributions.”
There is Nothing to Fix. The company share is Company Expense. The employee share was deducted from Gross Wages, which is Company Expense. It reduced takehome.
“How do I fix this and move the company portion over to the expense side.”
It is Both Expense and Liability on the paycheck, because that is where it Computed and Accrued. The same as Fed UI or company FICA. It Computes as Expense for the company, but it is not yet paid out, so it is Offset and held as Liability. And later, you pay the Payroll Liability, and both parts are on the check to the Broker: employee and employer shares.
