I'm trying to run a payroll period for an employee that we had to estimate his salary for a particular pay period before the pay period actually ended due to being out of town during the week that payroll would of been processed and deposited. I'm now trying to process that pay period as a paper check instead of as direct deposit, and the date of the check issued is now in the past. My problem is that my QBs Payroll (desktop) will not let me un-click the direct deposit options in the "Enter Payroll Information" box. I can select "Handwrite and Assign check numbers" box and enter the check number. But when I click the "Continue" button I get an error relating to the date and direct deposit. How do I get this to work???
Thanks for checking with us and providing us in-depth details of your paycheck concern, TahoeMama.
I'm here to guide you on how to remove the direct deposit option while creating the paychecks.
Here's how:
1. In QuickBooks Desktop, go to the Employee menu at the top.
2. Select Payroll Center and click Start Unscheduled Payroll.
3. In the Review and Create Paychecks window, select the Open Paycheck Detail button.
4. Uncheck the Use Direct Deposit option.
5. Once done, select Save & Close. \
You can check out this article for more detailed steps on how to change a direct deposit paycheck to a regular paycheck in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.
If you're still unable to clear the Use Direct Deposit option, I suggest updating your QuickBooks and update the tax table to get the full functionality for payroll updates.
Get back to us if you have other questions about the direct deposit paycheck. We're always here to help. Take care!
Thank you for the quick reply.
I updated my payroll per your recommendation, and then I opened/started an "unscheduled payroll" function, filled in all the required info, but the payroll system will not let me "uncheck" the Direct Deposit options in that box; even if I add a check number and everything. The Payroll system still thinks it's for a DD, and since the date of the check is post-dated (in the past) it states that DD is not available for that date.
Is there maybe a setting under the employee that I'm trying to process payroll for that would allow me to run their payroll as a paper check instead of the direct deposit?
Thanks for your help,
