Deleting an older payroll cheque

Hi Jannie77,

Ensuring your payroll has the proper deductions is vital in keeping your records balanced and your payroll remittance accurate, to avoid over or under payments.  I can understand how having the CPP incorrectly calculated would be of concern.  With QuickBooks Online Payroll you can delete pay cheques when corrections are necessary.  However, this doesn't apply when employees are paid with direct deposit.  In this situation it's best to have us take care of this for you on our end to ensure the tax liabilities are also calculated and recorded properly.  We'd be happy to help!

Thank you for your response.  The payroll cheques in question were not direct deposited, and all I want to change is the employer portion amount for cpp only, my payroll cheque amount paid to my employee will not change.  

Hi Jannie77,

Thank you for touching base with us and providing the additional information.  QuickBooks Online Payroll allows you to delete older pay cheques so you can reach your goals, and glide through the remainder of your day.  I'd be glad to give additional insight here!

As you're aware, you'll have to delete any pay cheques for the employee that fall after the date to be corrected, working backwards until you're at the cheque to be deleted.  Once this process has been completed, you can recreate them and QuickBooks automatically recalculates taxes and forms.  In addition, please be advised this will change your tax liabilities for those periods and you may owe additional tax payments, subject to penalty and interest.  

For your reference, here's an article with additional details when deleting a pay cheque.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach back out.  We'd like to help!
