How to fix payroll health insurance deduction overpaid by employee to employer?

I'd be delighted to help you fix your payroll concern, keepingupwithbooks01. Let's delete the paycheck and recreate it with the correct information. 

Before we begin, I recommend you make an internal agreement with your employee regarding the overpayment deduction (health insurance). Next, open the Paycheck list screen and look for the entry you're working on. Then, delete and create a new one. 

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. Set the Filter drop-down and choose the correct period.
4. Find the paycheck you're working on and select Delete or Void.
5. Click Yes to confirm the action. 

For more in-depth information about the process, check this article: Edit, delete, or void employee paychecks.

I advise contacting our QuickBooks Online (QBO) Care Team if you no longer see the Delete option. They can perform a payroll correction to ensure taxes and forms have accurate information. 

Furthermore, here are some resources you can access if you’d like to modify workers’ paychecks, update their profiles, and pay your workers back for an incorrect deduction:

• Set up, change, or delete employee-paid payroll deductions
• Edit or change employee info
• Refund your employee for a deduction that was overwithheld.
