paid bonus check without federal taxes

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, Alisha Kat.

Let me share some steps to help you correct the paycheck info.

Since paychecks were already processed, you can void them. Please keep in mind that voiding a paycheck changes your records and updates the dollar amount to zero. You may also need to make adjustments to balance your books.

Here's how:

1. Go to Employees > 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 click Void.
4. In the pop-up box, enter YES and hit Void.
5. Select the checkbox to agree to the terms and conditions of voiding the paycheck.
6. Repeat steps as necessary to include all checks that need to be voided.

After voiding the paychecks, you can send the voided paychecks by following these steps:

1. Go back 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 select OK.

For reference, you can check out this article: Delete or void employee paychecks.

Once done, re-create the paychecks to withhold the federal taxes. The step by step instructions are included in this guide: How do I create a paycheck for an employee?.
