I paid an employee vacation pay on December 31st 2019. The next pay date was January 10th 2020. Now I cant match the transaction to the paycheque. How can i fix this?

Hi there,

Making sure your transactions match is a good way to keep your books tidy. QuickBooks is a hassle-free program that's designed to assist you with the accounting side of your business. I'll be happy to give you a hand with matching the paycheque.

Based on what you've described, it's important to make sure you check with your Payroll Settings. Here's how:

1. Click the Gear icon and choose Payroll Settings.
2. Select the Accounting link under Preferences.
3. Verify if you're using the correct bank account.
4. Update if needed.
5. Click OK.

If you need to correct the bank account associated with the cheques, proceed with doing that and make sure the changes are saved. Once you've done this, you can now match your transactions. Keep in mind that QuickBooks Online can only match transactions if they have the same amount, payment method and transaction date.
