Hi there, @ickus98,

Thanks for you time checking this with us today. I can add a bit more about creating zero net paycheck in QuickBooks Desktop.

There are a few things you need to do to create a zero net paycheck. Here's how:

Step 1: Set up a dummy Addition Item

1. Go to the Lists menu.
2. Select Payroll Item List.
3. Right-click anywhere and click New.
4. Select Custom Setup then click Next.
5. Select Addition and click Next.
6. Enter the name of the item.
7. Click Next twice.
8. In the Tax tracking type drop-down, click None.
9. Click Next three times.
10. Choose net pay and click Next.
11. Click Finish.

Step 2: Create a dummy Deduction Item

1. Click the Lists menu and select Payroll Item List.
2. Right-click anywhere and click New.
3. Choose Custom Setup and click Next.
4. Click Deduction then Next.
5. Enter the deduction name and click Next twice.
6. In the Tax tracking type, select None.
7. Click Next three times.
8. Select the net pay radio button.
9. Click Next then Finish.

Step 3: Create the payroll check.

1. Click the Employees menu.
2. Choose Pay Employees.
3. Select Unscheduled Payroll.
4. Update the date and click the employee name.
5. Click the Open Paycheck Detail button.
6. Remove all the items on the Earnings section.
7. In the Other Payroll Items section, remove any addition or deduction items.
8. Add the dummy addition and deduction item you've just created.
9. Enter a sample amount. (Example: 100)
10. Make sure the Check Amount is zeroed out.
    

That should help you create the zero net check, @ickus98.
