# Payroll GL Assignments

Choose account numbers (GL Numbers) that go with each payroll withholding such as 2010.00 Federal Tax Liability.

## Before You Begin

You must download Federal and State tax formulas and create any additional withholdings for things like health insurance, employee child care, retirment plans, etc. See article: [Payroll Formulas](/procare-desktop/docs/create-a-new-payroll-withholding-formula)

## Getting There

1. From the *Procare Home* screen click *Configuration > System*.
2. Go to *Accounting Management > Payroll >* dbl-click *General Ledger Assignments*.

## General Ledger Assignments

Choose account numbers (GL Numbers) that go with each withholding. Most should be assigned to a liability account, but there may be cases (such as child care paid by an employee) where a revenue account is appropriate. Account numbers are created in your [Chart of Accounts](/procare-desktop/docs/chart-of-accounts).

At the General Ledger Assignments screen:

1. Select a *Category*, like Federal from the drop down list (top left).
2. Assign a *GL Account* number to each item in the category such as Federal EIC, Federal Income Tax, etc.
3. Click *Save*.
4. Repeat for the *State* and *General* categories.
