Accurate tax records are crucial for your business, Kandip. Let me share some details and steps to correct the lost paycheck.
If your employee lost their paycheck, you can reissue a new one through QuickBooks Online Payroll (QBOP) or reprint the original paycheck to give to your employee.
First, contact the bank and request a stop payment on the lost paycheck. Then, create a replacement to account for the missing check number.
Here's how:
- Go to the + New button.
- Under Vendors, select Check.
- From the Payee drop-down menu, choose the name of the employee.
- Specify the Bank Account you use for payroll.
- Choose Payroll Expenses in the Category column.
- Enter the net amount of the lost paycheck.
- Put the number and date of the lost paycheck.
- Select Print check.
- Hit Save and Close.
After that, void the replacement check to balance your register. I'll guide you on how:
- Open the created check.
- Change the check number to match the original one.
- Add a memo before voiding to note its purpose.
- Select More at the bottom, then choose Void.
- On the confirmation prompt, Tap Yes, then OK.
