Hello info342,

Thanks for taking the time to connect with us here. I'll be happy to share more info so you're on the right track with achieving your QuickBooks goals. QuickBooks is a versatile program that helps simplify the way you manage your payroll. 

Based on what you've shared above, you'll need to enter the the prior year amounts using a Pay Edits template. This template allows you to enter your payroll info and you'll have to contact our support team for further assistance. Here's how: 

• Schedule a Callback or start a Chat: click (?)Help in the upper right > type and enter "Contact support" into the QB Assistant > click Contact Us > explain your situation > click Let's Talk > choose Get a callback or Start a Chat. Support is available from Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET.
• Social Media: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
