    Hi there, jmarkanderson.

     

    Thanks for turning to the Community for support. I'd be glad to offer some info so you're able to have your employee's payroll info in your QuickBooks Desktop account.

     

    Would you happen to have any physical paper copies of checks, deductions, or any similar payroll detail reports? If so, you can use those documents to enter previous payroll data into the Desktop system. Here's how:

     

    1. Choose the Employees tab in your account, then Payroll Setup.

    2. Select Payroll History.

    3. Enter whether or not you've paid employees this year.

    4. Complete the following on screen prompts.

    5. Choose Enter pay history for each employee and use your reports to enter the correct info.

     

    I recommend checking out the following article for even more info, specifically Step 3: Enter Pay History: Get started with QuickBooks Desktop Payroll

     

    By completing the steps above you'll be able to enter previous payroll info and get back to business. Feel free to reach back out if you happen to have any other questions. I'll be here to help.

    I have a few check stubs but not all.  Is there a way quickbooks can send me the info from april through july?  Like through a email?  Or if I upgraded to online will that make it possible to get this info easier?  I know everything with payroll is transferred to quickbooks when i do payroll.

    Hey jmarkanderson,

     

    Thank you for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community! That is a good question! But for security reasons, we do not have an option to email payroll information like that. However, could you share which Payroll service you are using? If you are using Assisted Payroll, this information can be pushed back into the file, but this is impossible if you are using Enhance Payroll. 

     

    Please let me know below so we can look into it further! I will be looking out to your response. Take care!
