Taxes and accounting in payroll

[readwithme]

Hi!

In payroll, it looks like state and federal taxes are deducted together. What would be the best way to account for this? I was told that I should account for state tax liability and federal tax liability separately but it doesn't seem possible with the way that payroll deductions are done. Any thoughts or ideas? 

Thanks!

Hi @readwithme! Unfortunately, we can't offer advice on how to itemize your journal entries within your accounting software. As it's really important to get taxes right, and they can certainly be tricky, I recommend reaching out to an accountant or tax professional if you haven't already!
