I issued a paycheck that needs to be voided but the liabilities have been paid.  A new check will need to be issued.  How do I address the liabilities changes?

Glad to have you here in the Community, Amyic. I'd be delighted to share information about voiding a paycheck in QuickBooks Desktop.

There are several actions you need to take to ensure your payroll data and liabilities are correct.
 

If the paycheck was processed through a paper check, you can delete it and then recreate it. On the other hand, if it was processed through direct deposit, you'll want to contact our Payroll Support Team to correct your data.

Here's how:
 

  1. In your QBDT file, go to Help, then select QuickBooks Desktop Help/Contact Us.
  2. Click Contact Us.
  3. Provide a short description of your issue, then select Continue
  4. Log in to your Intuit account, click Continue, and then Continue with my account.
  5. One-time use codes will be emailed to you. After entering your code, click Continue.
  6. Select Chat with us or Have us call you.

 

Once done, you need to adjust your payroll liability to ensure figures are balanced. Voiding a paycheck when liabilities have been paid can cause a balance issue on your report. Check out this guide for complete instructions: Correct the payroll liability balances.

I've added some articles that could help you check if the liabilities are updated.
