Question

payroll

I have two questions:

The first one is I entered a timesheet and started to enter paycheck details for an employee that worked his first job in a city that I need to take payroll taxes out of.  I saved and closed the paycheck detail and went to employee set up and added the city that was new.  When I go back to paycheck details the city won't show up, I'm guessing because it was started before I added the city.  I don't see a button to delete so I am not sure how to restart this paycheck without causing a mess.

 

The second question is I just saw the payroll setup button under the employee's tab.  I selected it to see what it was and my computer went crazy saying it was adding employees and W2's and all kinds of stuff.  I exited out.  What does that button do?  I do not want the version where I pay for QB's to do payroll for me.

 

Thank you.

Hi there, @missmissySEI.

 

I’m here to address your questions and walk you through reverting the employee's paycheck and elucidate the use of the payroll setup button in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

Since you created the paycheck before adding the new city, this explains why the city you created from where the taxes should be taken out is not reflected in the employee’s paychecks. In this, we can revert it and recreate another with the correct details:

 

  1. Go to Employees, then select Pay Employees
  2. Select Scheduled Payroll or Unscheduled Payroll.
  3. Select Resume Scheduled Payroll. You’ll see some employees’ names highlighted in yellow. These are the employees that have had changes.
  4. Right-click on the employee name that’s highlighted in yellow.
  5. Select Revert Paychecks.

 

Once done, you can refer to this article in creating and running your payroll with the correct information: Create and run your payroll.

 

Concerning the second question you have, the Payroll Setup button under the Employees tab is used to manually do payroll. This functionality helps us track your payroll transaction within the application and usually use by business owners who don’t subscribe to any payroll services. Using this option will need you to manually calculate and enter your payroll taxes, and file your tax forms yourself.

 

You can also read this article for more details: Set up manual payroll without a subscription in QuickBooks Desktop.
