Deleting/Voiding a Paycheck

My client has me generate paychecks in QB and he handwrites the checks.  I just found out that he did not write a paycheck for the Feb 14th payday due to the employee being on unpaid leave.  I generated a paycheck for the following week (Feb 21) as scheduled and a check was written.

 

If I delete or void the Feb 14th paycheck, what does that do to the tax liabilities that were on the next check that I generated if anything? Will QB catchup on unemployment liabilities on future paychecks?

 

Also, do I delete or void, does it make a difference?

 

We are a monthly 941 depositor so that does not come in to play since this has occurred before I made a deposit for Feb.

Deleting/Voiding a Paycheck

Deleting or voiding a paycheck will completely remove its impact from payroll reporting. If doing so causes a tax that was done calculating for the year - which had met its limit - now be below the limit again, then that tax will calculate again on new paychecks you create until it once again hits it's limit.

 

Since you haven't filed or paid tax liabilities yet for the check in question, there probably isn't anything special to do after deleting of voiding the check.

 

In most cases, it doesn't make any difference if you void or delete a pay-check.
