Payroll

I made a mistake by running payroll for a pay period by using the previous pay period. So it just printed the paychecks again and the employees used that same check. How do I go back in and update in quickbooks?

Hi there, @21202120.

 

I'll share some information about correcting payroll.  You'll want to delete the payroll and then create a new one using the correct pay schedule. Let me walk you through how.

 

To delete:

 

  1. Go to Payroll.
  2. Choose Employees.
  3. Select the Paycheck list link.
  4. Look for the paychecks from the list and open each paycheck.
  5. Scroll down and tap Delete. Mark the box next to I understand that this action cannot be undone box.
  6. Click Delete Paycheck.

 

After deleting, go back to the Employee List page, then click Run payroll. Make sure to choose the right payroll schedule. Refer to this article for details: Process or run payroll.

 

In case you need help with other payroll-related tasks, click this link to go to the page: QuickBooks Online Payroll.
