Ran payroll this week and no taxes were withheld.... I ran an update and re-issued all checks but one that was already deposited by employee. How do I fix this one check? When I run payroll next week will it double up on taxes to get this person back on track?

Let's make sure we'll be able to fix your payroll so it will withhold taxes, cish40.

 

You'll want to update QuickBooks to the latest release. Then, get the latest tax table to refresh payroll information for the taxes to calculate. Also, there are several reasons why paychecks are not withholding taxes. You can go through each scenario in this article to know how it is set to calculate: Payroll Items on Paycheck Are Not Calculating or Are Calculating Incorrectly.

 

Aside from that, you'll have to void paycheck if you have already issued them. Here's how:

  1. Create a backup.
  2. Click the Employees drop-down menu.
  3. Select Edit/Void Paychecks.
  4. On the Edit/Void Paychecks window, change both the Show paychecks through/from date to the date of the check and then step off of the date window.
  5. Highlight the check-in question and click on Void.
  6. In the pop-up window, enter "yes" and click Void again.
  7. Repeat as necessary to include all checks that need to be voided.
  8. Click Done to close out of the Edit/Void Paychecks window.
  9. Click Employees on the top menu bar, and select Send Payroll Data.
  10. Click Send. You will note that there are 0 paychecks for 0 dollars to send. This step is done in order for Intuit's servers to receive the void information from your QuickBooks to show a check has been modified.

Please know that once you create a paycheck, any difference in the net amount can be adjusted on the next payroll. You'll also want to create a non-taxable reimbursement payroll item for mileage, travel, or non-taxable insurance reimbursement. Read this article for your guide: Create A Non-Taxable Reimbursement Payroll Item.
