1 | **Question:** How do I correct error message **"Out of Balance"** when posting my payroll? | ||
2 | |||
3 | **Answer:** The payroll program exports your payroll in what is referred to as a **Balanced Transaction **file, meaning that the total Debits, or all items that are expenses, equals the total Credits, or all items that are liabilities plus Net Pay. | ||
4 | |||
5 | An **Out of Balance **error indicates that you either you have: | ||
6 | |||
7 | * An item linked as a Debit/Credit and needs to be switched; | ||
8 | * An item not linked to an account in Quickbooks or; | ||
9 | * An item has too many links. | ||
10 | |||

22 | * At the bottom of the list, look under the **Missing Items Deductions** and **Missing Items Employer Paid** below the list in the window. Any Deductions not linked and any Employer Paid Items without the required 2 links will be listed. They would need to be linked for payroll to properly post. | ||
23 | * If they both say** "Nothing Missing"** then look at the list and make sure that items are linked properly. | ||
