Hi there, Jeff. Thank you for choosing QuickBooks Payroll as part of your business. I'm here to help you post your payroll transactions correctly.

 

You don't need to void a transaction to fix the posting of your payroll entries. The payroll preferences may affect this issue. Thus, you can proceed to the Payroll Accounting Preferences to correct the accounts from there.

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, then click on Payroll Settings.
  2. Tap on the pencil icon from the Accounting section.
  3. Check out the associated accounts from there. If necessary, update it to the correct one.

 

After that, you can proceed to the Want to update existing transactions section on the same page if you wish to update your past transactions.

 

  1. Click on the edit icon.
  2. Enter the Start Date.
  3. Select Update, then Done.

 

For additional tips while setting up your accounting preferences, you can check out this article: Set up Payroll account preferences.

 

On the other hand, if you have payroll entries from the Banking page, please make sure to match them to your existing records to avoid duplicate issues. Otherwise, you can exclude them from your record.

 

If you're ready to pay your taxes and file your state and federal forms, may open this link as your reference: Pay and file payroll taxes online. From there, review the steps under the QuickBooks Online Payroll link.

 

Please let me know if you need further assistance with your payroll transactions. I've got your back and am always happy to help. Have a good one!
