Can I have the payroll and related taxes corrected if a paycheck was erroneously issued to an employee after their termination date?

the employee's last day was 3/1/24 but received a paycheck for the period ending 3/15/24 in error.

I'm glad you've posted here in the Community, @jawfedorek. I'm here to ensure you'll correct your payroll and payroll taxes.

 

In QuickBooks Online Payroll Core, Premium, and Elite, we can fix previous payrolls by voiding, editing, or deleting a paycheck. Since this is a terminated employee and you already sent your payroll to us, we can correct your payroll and payroll taxes by voiding the paycheck. Here are the steps to follow:

 

  1. Go to Payroll and select Employees.
  2. Hit the Paycheck list page.
  3. Go to the paycheck you want to correct.
  4. Select Void on the dropdown arrow.

 

For visual reference, I've included these screenshots below. 

 

 

Once done, the system will automatically recalculate your taxes owed and make any necessary adjustments with the next payroll run.
