How do I edit a payroll check so it is included in the previous month for taxes?

Hello there, blueribbon. I'm here to share some tips regarding payroll checks. 

When it comes to editing payroll checks in QuickBooks Online (QBO), the process will depend on whether or not the check has been submitted, as well as the Pay Date of the check. Based on your request to include payroll from the previous month for tax purposes, you can delete the checks and recreate them only if they were included in the previous month's payroll. Make sure to input the correct Pay Date when you recreate the checks.

Here's how: 

Step 1: Delete the Paycheck

1. Go to the Payroll menu located at the left navigational panel and choose the Employee option. 
2. Click the Paycheck list.
3. Press the paycheck you'd like to delete, and then press Delete.
4. Tap Yes. 

Step 2: Recreate it and enter the Pay Date that's included in the previous month 

1. Go to Payroll located at the left navigation panel, then click Employees.
2. Tap Run payroll.
3. You can select a payroll schedule if there's a prompt.
4. Change the Pay date and Pay period.
5. Fill out the necessary information, such as your employee's name, salary, and/or hours worked.
6. The pay method should be a Paper check.
7. Click Preview payroll.
8. You can press either Preview payroll details or Submit Payroll.
