Commission paid via expense check from QBO then ran through ADP for tax purposes

Someone paid commissions to employees via an expense check and didn't take taxes out.  In order to fix this we ran these payments through ADP so they can have taxes deducted and correct W-2 for the year.  So this hit my gl twice, once with the expense payment and once with the payroll journal.  Only went through bank once.  Not sure what account I need to offset a journal with to cancel out the payroll entry.  They were done in two different months.

Is the net payroll check the same amount as the expense check? If so, delete the expense check and clear the payroll check.

 

If the net payroll check is a different amount then the expense check you first have to decide how to handle the difference before the entries can be corrected. Is the employee going to pay back the overpayment?
