I'm here to help share some ways on how you can pay your casual employee in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @jeffreyjollymore.
If you'll be reporting W2 forms to the state by end of the year, you must include your employee on your payroll.
To add the employee:
- Log in to your QuickBooks Online account.
- Click on Workers at the left pane.
- Select Employee.
- Click on Add an employee.
- Enter the employee's information.
- Click on Save.
On the other hand, if you'll be reporting 1099 for that employee, you can add it as a contractor.
- Click on Workers at the left pane.
- Select Contractors.
- Click on Add a contractor.
- Follow the on-screen pop-up to finish the setup.
