How to recalculate Federal Tax withholding on a completed payroll for one employee?
I have completed payroll and one of my employees would like to increase her Federal Tax withholding for this pay period. So I went into the employee record and updated her Federal Tax Withholding. Now how do I fix her paycheck since payroll is complete? I have QB Desktop. I have not done any electronic transfers or written any checks. So I am thinking it should be fairly easy for QB to recalculate but I cannot figure it out.

Hi Wiesman!
It's a good thing that you haven't processed the paycheck yet. The change will take effect going forward, so I suggest editing the existing paycheck to apply the change in the Federal Withholding tax.
- From the Employees menu select the Employee center.
- Choose the Transactions tab and select Paychecks.
- Double-click the paycheck in concern and click the Paycheck Detail button.
- Deselect and re-select the items in the Earnings table to recalculate the Federal Withholding amount.
- Click OK.

Thanks so much for the help! The only additional step was to click on the "Unlock Net Pay".
