Hi There I've been advised by my Company Accountant to alter / resubmit all weeks payroll and then FPS for previous tax year. What is the best way to do this please?

Welcome to QuickBooks Community, @rosetransport. I'm here to share some information to ensure you can alter payroll and then resubmit FPS.

 

You can access and see all pay runs in the program by going to the Payroll section. From there, you'll have the option to delete them.

 

Please take note of the following before you delete the pay run in QuickBooks Online Standard Payroll:

 

  • You're unable to delete just one payment in a pay run. If you remove a pay run, QuickBooks Online deletes all of the employee payments in the payroll.
  • If you're trying to correct an employee's payment, you can make changes in the next pay run. Then, the Full Payment Submission (FPS) for the next pay run will reflect the updates.
  • If you need to delete an entire pay run, ensure to print out all the payslips and reports beforehand. Then you have all the information you need for all the employees you've paid when you recreate the pay run.
  • If you need to delete a scheduled pay run that has already been submitted to HMRC, you can create a new pay schedule and add employees with the same payroll ID. If this doesn't work, you may need to contact HMRC and set up employees with new payroll IDs on the new pay schedule. Alternatively, you can migrate to Advanced payroll.

 

After that, follow these steps to delete or rollback payroll:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu and select Employees.
  2. Choose Payroll History and select the most recent period.
  3. On the Payroll details page, click Actions and Delete Payroll.
  4. Type YES in the box and click Delete.
  5. Repeat these steps for any additional pay runs that need deleting.

 

If you're using QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll, open this article to perform the process of deleting a pay run: Unlock or delete a pay run in QuickBooks Online Advanced Payroll.

 

Once done, recreate a pay run with the correct information and ensure to review it before submitting the payroll. To resubmit the FPS to HMRC, select option H - Correction as a late reason. This will overwrite the previous tax year submission that HMRC has received for this period.

 

You can check out these resources for the complete steps of processing FPS depending on the payroll version you're using:
