How to enter 1 paycheck for the year for an employee with certain deductions and totals in Quickbooks online

Hello there, ALS4.

I can guide you through the steps to enter your employee's year-to-date paycheck in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

If you're new to QBO, you'll need to add your employees' paycheck history during the setup process. Please remember that the information you enter should be from the current calendar year, and you should not have created any paychecks in the program yet.

Here's how to do it:

1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online as the primary admin.
2. Go to Payroll, and then select Overview.
3. If you haven’t already, add all of your employees paid this year in the Get ready to pay your team task. Include all employees who no longer work for you. Make sure to set up each pay item, deduction, contribution, and tax showing on their pay stubs or reports.
4. Next to Add your payroll history, select Start.
5. Enter the necessary information.

If you have already created paychecks within QuickBooks, I recommend contacting our Payroll Support team to request a payroll correction or adjustment.

I'm also attaching an article that provides additional information about the process to ensure you won't miss any details: Add pay history to QuickBooks Online Payroll.
