How do I get handwritten paychecks dated December 29th into QB to ensures taxes and W-2's are correct now that it is January?

Hi there, atpsdtr.

I'll provide insights on how paychecks dated in the past work in QuickBooks Payroll. This way, I'll ensure that you reach your goal smoothly.

Please know that you can create a paycheck with a past check date as long as it’s not a direct deposit. Also, if you haven't paid your taxes and submitted any forms. This could be the reason an option for the Dec 29 paychecks isn't on your end.

To fix the issue, I recommend canceling or deleting tax payments or form filing within QuickBooks. This is done so you can enter paychecks dated December 29th in your account. Please note that the ability to delete those transactions varies depending on your payroll subscription and situation. You can refer to this article to see the process: Cancel or delete payroll tax payments and forms.

If you no longer have the option to delete tax payments and forms, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online Payroll Team. They're the best support group for such inquiries as they can request account information. They can even help you delete the tax payments and forms, then enter paychecks dated 29th of Dec.
