Welcome to the Community, @peggyRMI.

 

I'll show you the steps to void a paycheck in QuickBooks Desktop Standalone Payroll.

 

You can only edit or delete a paycheck if you haven't sent the paycheck to the payroll service. Otherwise, your option is to void it.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu, then select Edit/Void Paychecks.
  2. Change the Show paychecks through/from dates to the date of the paychecks you need to void, then press Tab on your keyboard.
  3. Select the check-in question and choose Void.
  4. Enter YES, then select Void.
  5. Tick the checkbox to agree to the terms and conditions of voiding the paycheck.
  6. Repeat steps 1- 5 as necessary to include all checks that need to be voided.

 

Then, send the voided paychecks.

 

  1. Go to the Employees menu, then select Send Payroll Data.
  2. Select Send. You won't see any direct deposit checks to send, but this lets our system know to cancel the paychecks.
  3. Enter your payroll PIN, then click OK.

 

Here is an article for the detailed steps: Edit, delete, or void employee paychecks.

Thanks but that wasn't my question.  We run our payroll checks inhouse using QB Desktop payroll.  We need to add to the payroll history without running payroll checks.  For instance, Employee 1 has 1200 gross but the correct amount should be 1550.  How do I adjust that gross amount without making a payroll run?
