Thanks for your reply. I’m here to assist you in deleting your payroll so you can set it up from scratch in QuickBooks Online.
We can cancel the payroll that you already run. However, it depends on the processing state that you use.
If you use a manual paycheck, we can Delete or Void this. QuickBooks may allow you to delete the transaction depending on the processing time, and payroll service.
But if you’re using a direct deposit, we can proceed to the paycheck list and void it. Ensure to do this before 5:00 PM PST. Beyond that time, your payroll will process, and the option to cancel is no longer available. To do this, here’s how:
Go to the Payroll menu.
Choose the Employees tab.
Go to the Paycheck list and set the date range.
Select the paycheck(s) you'd like to delete or void, then select Delete or Void.
Click Yes to confirm.
These steps are for QBO Payroll Core, Premium, and Elite versions. If you’re using other payroll services, feel free to visit this guide: Delete or void employee paychecks.
Also, we won't be able to stop the process if the direct deposit has already been offloaded for ACH. Furthermore, the processing time is determined by the funding time that has been specified for your account.
You can wait for the funds to arrive in your employee's bank account. Then, perform an internal agreement to return the amount or request for a reversal. Check out this article for more information: Reverse a direct deposit.
Once you’re all set and to run your payroll again, check out this handy resource: Create and run your payroll.
Please let me know if you need clarification on managing your payroll. I'll be standing by for your response. Have a great day and stay safe!
