Question

How to edit paychecks after they're posted (I need to add health insurance company contributions)

Hello,

I forgot to add in the company contributed health insurance to my employee's paychecks. This won't affect the total amount they receive because it's company contributed, so they get the credited amount separately. Is there a way to edit this into old checks for our records? I was able to on Desktop in the past, but it seems that Quickbooks Online doesn't allow paycheck edits.

Thank you for turning to the Community about your payroll concern, Anderson4.

 

Ensuring the accuracy of payroll data is crucial to guarantee correct information on taxes and forms. Let's modify the paycheck details and add the health insurance contribution. 

 

Before you begin troubleshooting, make sure you've set up the health insurance item in QuickBooks Online (QBO) payroll. This way the item will show up on the Paycheck page. Next, let's proceed and edit the entries

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Navigate to the Payroll menu on the left panel and choose Employees.
  2. Click the Paycheck list link under Run payroll
  3. Tap the Filter drop-down and set the correct information for the following: EmployeeDate rangeFrom, and To fields. 
  4. Press the Apply button for the changes to take effect. 
  5. From the list, find the paycheck you're working on and press the drop-down arrow under the Action column to choose Edit.
  6. This action will direct you to the Paycheck screen.
  7. Head to the Company-paid contributions section and input the amount in the appropriate box.
  8. Once done, click the Save button.

 

In case you receive the message Contact us to edit this paycheck or if the paychecks that were created earlier were via direct deposit, I suggest contacting our Payroll Support Team. They can assist you in making the necessary corrections to your payroll and ensure that the health insurance is recorded accurately in your payroll data.
