Editing paycheck that has already been submitted to direct deposit

Hello there, @klcokc.

I'm here to share details about editing a direct deposit paycheck in QuickBooks. This way, you're able to correct your employees' paycheck details and keep your payroll data accurate.

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.

If you're using QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Payroll, you'll first need to check the payroll status of the paycheck you want to edit to make sure that it's not yet offloaded. Then, proceed in editing the direct deposit check. For the step-by-step guide, you can refer to this article: How to cancel or stop a Direct Deposit paycheck in QBDT Payroll.

The same goes if you're subscribed to QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll. You'll have to void or delete  the direct deposit check before we offload it so you can make the needed updates. 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 Reports menu, select the Employees & Payroll option (QBDT) or 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 QBDT and QBO Payroll, you can refer to any of the following:
