Let me help you edit a payroll check in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
You can edit a payroll check if the status is not yet processed. I'll show you how to do it below:
Now, here's how to update your payroll bank. Make sure to do this before running the payroll again.
For more information about editing payroll checks, visit this article: Edit a payroll paycheck.
Once deleted, you can now recreate the payroll with the correct information.
If the payroll has already been processed, you can no longer delete them. Instead, you'll want to create a journal entry to transfer the payroll from the wrong account to the correct one.
Here's how:
Here's a video tutorial for the steps on how to create a Journal Entry in QBO.

Hi idf_10956071-d4
Hope you’re doing great. I wanted to see how everything is going about editing a payroll check that you had the other day. Was it resolved? Do you need any additional help or clarification? If you do, just let me know. I’d be happy to help you at any time.
Looking forward to your reply. Have a pleasant day ahead!
Because January 1, 2022 was a Saturday, my 1/1/2022 payroll was run on 12/31/2021. How do I get this corrected? I want the payroll in 2022 and want W2s to be correct. I am using QB Online Payroll Core.
Hi there, @bdspoff.
Thanks for coming to the Community. I've got you the steps to change the paycheck date of your payroll.
If you manually process the check, you'll have to delete and recreate the paycheck.
Here's how:
1. Go to the Workers tab at the left pane, then click Employees.
2. Click the Paycheck List under Run Payroll,
3. Select the paychecks you want to delete.
4. Hit on Delete.
5. Mark the checkmark box to confirm the deletion. Then click Delete Paycheck.
You can now recreate the paychecks with their correct check date. However, if it's a direct deposit check, you can still cancel it before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, 2 banking days before the paycheck date you've mistakenly entered.
For future reference, read through these articles to help you manage and process payroll:
Let me know below if you have any other concerns. I'll be around to assist. Have a good one!
