I repeat the question:  there is NO Wages or payroll. The only options available

Inventory / Cost of Goods Sold
  Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold
Business Expenses
  Every day expenses conducting business
  Business Vehicle Expense
  Other Common Business Expenses
  Home Office Expense

I have NO inventory or COGS, I just need to reflect salary paid to my household member who assisted me in consulting services. Where and how can  should I enter this?
