I appreciate all your efforts in performing the steps above, junegerhardt.
I see the importance of having the correct payroll schedule. No worries, I'm here to make sure your payroll will be back on track.
Aside from updating your QuickBooks software to the latest release, let's ensure that you have the latest payroll updates. This guarantees that you have current and accurate rates. Then, you can delete the scheduled payroll and recreate them. This way it will start fresh with the latest updates. I'll show you how.
- Go to the Employees menu, then select Payroll Center.
- Click the Pay Employees tab.
- Under the Create Paychecks table, choose the payroll schedule that you want to delete.
- From the Payroll Schedules dropdown, select Delete Schedule. Note: If you get a prompt saying you can’t delete or make a payroll schedule inactive, you still have employees on it.
- Select OK.
Once done, you can recreate your scheduled payroll. For your reference, you can review this guide: Set up and manage payroll schedules. This contains the steps on how you can remove and create scheduled payroll.
In addition, feel free to check this resource if you want to correct the pay period listed on paychecks: Incorrect pay period dates in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.
Post any details if you have further concerns about running your payroll. We're always here to back you up 24/7. Stay safe!
I followed your steps and the delete payroll schedule did not work but I clicked edit payroll schedule and it let me change it to the correct date.
Thank you!
