How do I go back and add historical payroll information to Payroll Core if I already skipped that step and didn't fill in any data?

Putting in historical payroll guarantees that future tax calculations and record keeping will be accurate, Zach.

 

If you haven't generated any paychecks yet, you can return to the Overview tab under the Payroll menu and put in previous payroll records.

 

I'd be glad to show you how:

 

  1. Go to Payroll menu and proceed to the Overview tab.
  2. Look for Add your payroll history.
  3. Click Start.
