Payroll posted to wrong account How can I fix this?

I am doing books for a client and I deleted all of his payroll for 2021 because he had them going to the wrong checking account and his balance sheet is all messed up.  How can I get all of the payroll back in the system.  I am using qbo plus and the payroll is quickbooks online payroll core.  I was thinking I could go back in and redo the payroll by period but it will not let me.  Then I figured I could do after the fact payroll but I do not see where I can do that either.  I spent all day today trying to figure this out.

Thanks

Why it doesn't just allow you to open the check and switch it to the correct account is so frustrating!
I am just going to delete the payroll I just did and re-run.

It shouldn't be this hard!

Merging the two accounts is definitely the way to go.  The two accounts must have the same name.  Once they have the same name, a message will pop up asking if you want to merge.  Luckily the payroll accidentally posted to an account that was not used so merging was easy.

Today is my payday。 How CAN i get A Key Number。 I am working now。 Thank you

after much time, I found that when you cut the check at least for the desktop version, it will have the account that the check comes out of at the top of the page.  When you view the check, you can see it just above the check, labeled Bank Account and so you click on it and pick the account you wish it to come from..  Hope this helps.

When I do my payroll, the gross pay and the employer share of taxes are posting to the same account.

I only have 2 employees to be concerned with. One employee is the Owner. My chart of accounts has an account for Officer salaries. My other account for the other employee is Employee salaries. Everything is being put into another expense account called Payroll tax expense. I have to do a journal entry to correct how this is posting. I want to know if there is a way for me going forward so when I do the pay checks it will post the gross pay to the correct account. Should be pretty simple but i don't know how to fix it. Thanks

I had this same issue and struggled for months with frustration. I changed bank accounts and my payroll accounting was coming from my old account but the money was coming out of the new account causing an imbalance in my QB accounting.  I recently learned how to fix it! Go to gear icon, payroll settings, Account - way at the bottom, change your bank account from there to your new one.  Going forward your payroll should always pull from your new account.  I had to do one big journal entry for the dollar amount that was wrong to fix the internal QB accounting.  I hope this helps some of you as I struggled with you too!

A major fail. Desktop version allows users to change accounts on anything. On-line version doesn't. Makes for very frustrating hours when a user makes an error. Too unforgiving.

Having the same problem with payroll tax payment - paid it on-line myself, but had to say I printed a check. Now, I can't change that.

Almost 4 years later and still no solution.  Pathetic.  Quickbooks is awful!  

I cannot even set the correct account because I have several accounts connected and the all say ********** without even showing one single digit to be able to choose the correct one. Genius
