Hi there, emcllcja.

 

If you haven't run your first payroll in QuickBooks Online, then yes, you can add the payroll information through prior payrolls.

 

Here are the steps:

  1. On the left panel, click Payroll.
  2. From the Employees tab, click the employee's name.
  3. In the employee's profile, click the Enter [Year] prior pay details button. Note: Make sure to enter the employee's pay schedule and pay rate so you can see this option.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions and enter the payroll history.
  5. Click Done.

You can also check this article for more information: Set up a prior payroll for QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

Otherwise, contact one of our Payroll Support Specialists if you no longer have the option, or if it affects multiple paychecks. 

 

Here's a link where you can get our contact information: https://payroll.intuit.com/support/contact/?infosrc=qs&service=64.

 

Feel free to reach out to me if there's anything else you need. Thanks.
