How do I change the "Paid from" field on a processed payroll check?

Hi there, Linda.

I'm here to lend a helping hand about the best thing to do in changing the account on the paycheck that you've processed.

We can transfer the payroll funds to the right account by creating a journal entry. Know that correcting a paycheck that has been processed isn't available.   

Before doing so, I recommend getting in touch with your accountant for additional guidance in recording this. They'll guide you in selecting the accounts to be affected and ensure that your books are accurate.

To create a JE:

1. Go to the + New button.
2. Select Journal entry.
3. Fill in the needed details to create your journal entry.
4. Click Save and close when done.

Here's an article you can read to learn about creating a journal entry: Create a journal entry in QuickBooks Online.

After that, you'll have to check the correct payroll account from the Payroll Settings. This way, payroll will be posted in the right account moving forward.

To do that:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Payroll Settings.
2. Click Preferences.
3. Select Accounting Preferences.
4. In the Checking Account drop-down arrow, select the correct account.

In addition, I'm also including here a reference that you can visit about making corrections to payroll checks in QBO: Edit a payroll paycheck.

If you have any questions or clarifications, let me know by leaving a comment. I’m more than happy to help. Have a great day!
