Employees and payroll

Hello there, @Rattleonco.

Thanks for getting back to us. I'm here to help recreate the deleted paycheck in QuickBooks Desktop.

As mentioned by my colleague, you can restore it if there is a backup of your company file prior to the deletion of the paycheck. Since you have a copy ready you'd just recreate it.

Here’s how:

1. Choose Start Unscheduled Payroll in the Pay Employees section.
2. Select the name of the employee you’re paying and click Open Paycheck Detail.
3. Enter the same original details.
4. Override taxes to match with the copy.
5. Hit Save & Close.
6. Click Continue, then Create Paychecks.

You can refer to this article for the details: Create paychecks in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

This information should get you back in line. If there’s anything else you need help with, let me know by leaving a comment. I'm more than happy to assist you. Take care!
