Can I edit 2024 payroll for an employee myself back to june of 2024. i paid myself by check. How can I register this now in quickbooks?

this is for an S corp LLC. I use quickbooks online. Now have downloaded Quickbooks for business taxes and need to either create a W2 there for the whole year. Although I will have paid the taxes on the first 2 quarters. So I think if I set up a whole new year it will think I owe taxes for the whole year

Hello @cognard. It appears you need to enter a paycheck for a previous date. For any corrections or amendments, I recommend reaching out to our payroll support team.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Help and choose the Search tab.
  2. In the search field, type in contact support.
  3. Click the Contact Us button.
  4. Please choose between the methods to connect with our support.
  5. Follow the on-screen steps based on your choice.

 

When you backdate payroll in QuickBooks Online, the system will automatically recalculate the taxes due for that payroll period. You will then need to promptly address these tax obligations. Depending on how your tax payments are configured in QuickBooks, you can either process these payments directly within the system or manually record any tax payments made outside of QuickBooks.

 

Please be aware that dating your paychecks in the past and including them in your W2 could lead to notifications or penalties from tax authorities for late payments of your payroll taxes.

 

For more detailed information about creating a paycheck with a past paycheck date, please refer to this article: Create a late (backdated) paycheck in QuickBooks Payroll.

 

Additionally, you can run a report to view the payroll wages, taxes, deductions, and contributions in QuickBooks Online. 

 

If you have more questions or need assistance in managing your payroll adjustments, don't hesitate to reach out. We are dedicated to ensuring that your payroll and tax reporting processes are managed smoothly and in compliance with regulations.
