Hey there, @donna143.

 

You can generally edit an approved paycheck from your most recent payroll. The process depends on whether or not you have already delivered the paycheck to the employee.


If the paycheck isn't submitted or approved, you can still edit them. Editing a direct deposit paycheck will depend on what processing state your payroll is in. We generally offload direct deposits at exactly 5:00 PM Pacific Time, two banking days before the paycheck date. You'll have to void the payment you've submitted before the offload schedule to make any necessary changes to the direct deposit paycheck.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Workers from the left menu. 
  2. Go to the Employees tab. 
  3. From the list, select the employee involved. 
  4. Go to the Paychecks List tab and set the date range. 
  5. Select the paycheck that you want to edit.
  6. Click Delete or Void at the bottom.    


You can refer to this article for the complete steps: Delete or void paychecks in QBO Payroll.

 

After voiding and editing, I'd recommend pulling up a payroll report to verify that the update is recorded accordingly. Just go to the Payroll section on the Standard tab (QBO) to select the one that suits your needs.


To learn more about the deadlines for canceling direct deposit paychecks both in QBO Payroll, you can refer to any of the following:
