Hi,
I have an old payroll transaction that should have been booked to dividends instead of payroll.  I want to reverse it and wondering if it's as simple as cancelling cheque and then do a manual entry charging dividend account?

I started with $3000 gross pay with $352.60 income tax and $154.38 CPP deduction.  Leaving $2493.02 net pay.  As well, there is a employer pension plan liability of $154.38.

None of these payments for income tax nor CPP have been made to government yet.

Thanks,
