Need April 2023 pay stubs from direct deposit

Thanks for sharing your queries here with us today, Jjnmn. Let me provide detailed information to help you acquire previous paystubs.

If you want to obtain and pull up a copy of last year's paystub from direct deposits, you can either open the check or print the employee's paystubs. To do this:

1. Go to the File menu and select Print Forms.
2. Choose Pay Stubs. 
3. In the Select Pay Stubs window, change the Checks Dated field. Then, filter the Employee drop-down to a specific employee.
4. Make sure to mark the boxes next to the paycheck dates.
5. Click Print or Email. See the attached image below.

However, if you want to send and mail previous paystubs to your employees, you can send digital copies to them as a PDF file: Email pay stubs from QuickBooks Desktop.

If you mean something else, feel free to get back to this forum and share detailed information on what specific assistance you need when handling paystubs.

Furthermore, you can use any payroll reports to view your employees' earnings: Create and manage reports.

I'll be on this thread whenever you need additional assistance when handling paychecks in your account. Just keep me posted below, so I can help you further. Stay safe and have a good one!

I need to do a severance check for a terminated employee. It will be one check to cover the next 3 months. 

Thanks for joining the thread, @tdcloud. I'm here to help. 

If you want to create a check covering the next three months for your terminated employee, you can run an unscheduled paycheck. You can follow these steps: 

1. Go to Payroll, then Employees. 
2. From the Run payroll ▼ dropdown, select one of the following: Bonus only, Commission only, or Fringe benefits if you already selected one of these as the pay type.
3. Based on your selection you may be asked additional questions. Enter any info about taxes or paycheck calculations (if applicable). Once complete, select Continue. 
4. Select or review the pay period (if applicable) and pay date.
5. Select the employees you want to pay.
6. Select the column, or select Actions ⋮, then Edit paycheck to enter your pay details.
7. Under each employee’s name, select paper or direct deposit paycheck.
8. Select Preview payroll.
9. Select or review the QuickBooks bank account to track your payroll.
10. Select Preview payroll details or Submit payroll.
11. Select Close.

After this, you can refer to this article to change your employee's status on payroll so that the employee will no longer appear on your active payroll list.

We'll be here in the Community if you have further questions about creating a final paycheck for your terminated employee. We're committed to offering ongoing support. Take care.
