Thanks for coming to the Community for help, @ShirleyT.


If you're already setup for DD, you can void the printed ones and run payroll again. This time, make sure to place a checkmark on the box next to Use Direct Deposit when creating the paychecks. 

 

Check out this screenshot for visual reference:

 

Before making these changes, I recommend backing up your data to avoid accidental data loss. Then, follow these steps:

  1. From the Employees menu, select Payroll Center.
  2. Go to the Pay Employees tab and pick the Edit/Void Paycheck link under Other Activities.
  3. Choose the paycheck you want to void, then click the Void button.
  4. Hit Done.

 

For more information about the process, take a look at this article: Void a paycheck.


Once done, create and send direct deposit paychecks to your employees. Here’s an article to serve as your guide: Send payroll and direct deposit paychecks in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

I only want to void 1 check & direct deposit just that 1, not all of them.  also I have already paid payroll liabilities, how do I fix this?

Thanks,

Thank you for getting back, @ShirleyT.

 

The steps provided by KhimG is the correct way to void a check and be able to process a direct deposit paycheck. It won't void all of the transactions, it'll just void the paychecks selected.

 

Since you've already recorded the payment in QuickBooks Desktop, you can delete it under the Payment History section.

 

  1. From the Employees menu, select Payroll Center.
  2. Tap on Pay Liabilities.
  3. Go to the Payment History section.
  4. Look for the payment from there.
  5. Double-click, then tap on Delete on the payment page to delete the payment.

So I delete the payroll liability payments I made to fed & state     before   I delete the one printed pay check, then I process payroll liabilities all over again once I send the new check to direct deposit?  Is this the process to correct it all?

Thanks,
