Ran Payroll but clicked Close thinking I could write check later.

I ran payroll but on the last step asking to write the check I clicked close thinking I could come back and write the check later but I don't see where I can do that.

Do I need to void that payroll and do it again?

If I just write a check what category/account do I use?

You don't necessarily need to void the payroll and start over., @PalmParrot. I'll explain this in detail below.

 

In QuickBooks Online, when you already created a check, you don't need to create another one. Instead, you can edit or print the existing check directly by locating the transaction in the paycheck list. I'll guide you on how:

 

  1. Navigate to the Payroll menu, then click on Employees.
  2. Locate the employee(s) for whom you need to create the paycheck and click on their name.
  3. Select the Paycheck list to view the list of paychecks for that employee.
  4. If the pay period in question shows an unprinted paycheck, click on it and select the option to print or write the check.
  5. Complete the process to print or manually write the check as necessary.

Regarding what category or account to use, I recommend consulting an accountant as they have the expertise to guide you on the appropriate selection. If you're not affiliated with one, you can utilize our Find an Accountant tool to look for one in your area.

 

Moreover, you can run payroll reports and view useful information about your business and employees.
