An employee was mistakenly reimbursed for office supplies on her direct deposit paycheck.  She has given back the money, but how do I account for this in QB?

We'll have to create a non-taxable deduction to resolve this, SCC29887. Then, use the item in the next paycheck. 
 

This process will help us deduct and account for the money returned by your employee. I'm here to guide you.
 

First, here's how to create a payroll item:

  1. Click Lists, then go to Payroll Item List.
  2. Select Payroll Item, then click New.
  3. Click Custom Setup, then Next.
  4. Select Deduction, then click Next.
  5. Enter the desired name, then click Next.
  6. Select the liability account, then click Next.
  7. Select None under Tax tracking type, then click Next.
  8. Skip the Taxes window, then click Next.
  9. Select Neither, then click Next.
  10. Select either gross pay or net pay, then click Next.
  11. Click Finish.

Then, you'll have to add the payroll item on the next paycheck.
