So we starting using QBO without entering employee historical pay. (One paycheck run so far.) We kept getting errors when trying to enter it and no one was able to figure out why. (Spent several hours, multiple days with QB service reps and still no luck.) We have a CPA who handles our taxes/W2's so the only thing it affects is the employee not being able to see their YTD on their check stub.  I'm wondering if a work around to this would be to run a check for each employee with the previous gross YTD and then do a journal entry to re-balance the payroll deduction in the bank account since the money has already been paid out. 

Anyone have experience with this or think that it would work? Looking for someone with actual advice and not just a link to "How to setup payroll".......
