Join nowWe are recovering from a hack where we lost 3 weeks of payroll. We use Payroll Enhanced with QB desktop. I got all the paystubs from workforce and recreated them in payroll and turned off the direct deposit on each paycheck. I printed the checks on plain paper. Now I have a real problem. The ACH pulls that Intuit did are still part of our checking account and the checks I rebuilt have doubled up the labor costs for that period. The taxes are ok now. I am doing something wrong and don't know how to straighten it out. I'm sure there is a good way to deal with it and if someone would enlighten me, I would be very grateful.
Hello there, @49er54.
It's nice to hear that you were able to recover your data from a hack.
We can generate and use the Payroll Summary report to check and verify if there's something that we need to correct or delete in case it appears as duplicate. You can follow the steps below for the complete instructions.
Then, correct the information that needs to be corrected. If it's a duplicate one, delete it. I've added a sample screenshot below.

The problem is that the paychecks are direct deposit. Before the hack, the paychecks had been generated and the ACH pull was made by Intuit to cover the direct deposit amounts. That is a done deal. Now I have had to recreate the paychecks so that the tax payments, 941s, w2s,etc will be correct. However I couldn't do it by direct deposit without duplicating the paychecks in the Intuit system because Intuit insists that you upload any pending direct deposits. So I unchecked the direct deposit for each paycheck and just printed the checks out on plain paper. So now the account is showing both the ACH pull for the direct deposit as well as the recreated checks. I need a way to zero out the ACH pulls that were made when I first made the paychecks before the hack. I can't just delete them. Am I making myself clear? I think we learned our lesson. We subscribed to the QB cloud daily backup.
I can share some information in handling direct deposit paycheck, 49er54.
Yes, it's clear. In QuickBooks, you can cancel or void direct deposit paycheck before 5:00 PM PST, and 2 banking days before the paycheck date. Since it's already beyond the timeframe, I suggest creating a direct deposit offset(DD Offset) payroll item and add it to the existing paycheck. I'll show you how
Then, you can clear the balance in your Payroll Liability Account for the DD offset item.
Here's how:

You can send a comment if you have other concerns with payroll. The Community and I are always here to back you up.
Thank you. That was very helpful. However I am left with Intuit wanting me to submit the paychecks foir that period. There are no balances involved, just data. Submitting would have duplicate paychecks in the Intuit system even though my own records are correct. What is the proper process to clear the "To Send" out of my payroll liabilities window?
I'd be happy to assist you today, @49er54.
Welcome to the Community. I'm here to help you submit with your paycheck.
I suggest checking the paycheck if it is a Direct Deposit. That is why QuickBooks is asking to submit it. When you process a paycheck, make sure it is a Papercheck. This way, it won't create a duplicate or submit a Direct Deposit to the employee.
You can also check this article for more details about the process: Employee did not receive direct deposit created in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.
