I coded an expense reimbursement as wages and taxes where withheld. How do I correct this?

I'm glad you reached out to us today, SherylH1. I admire you for sharing the details of your concern about payroll wages and taxes being withheld in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Allow me to provide the steps to make sure your taxes are correctly calculated.

To sort this out, we can delete and recreate that specific payroll check and ensure it is only for your expense reimbursement. Please follow the steps below to void or delete it:

1. Navigate to the Payroll menu, then choose Employees.
2. Click on the Paycheck list tab.
3. Choose the paycheck(s) to delete or void, then tap Delete or Void from the Action column.
4. Hit Yes to confirm.
   
   

In case you are unable to delete or void the paycheck, I recommend reaching out to our Payroll Support Team to assist you with the process. They use specific tools to pull up your account in a safe environment and help you void/delete the paycheck.

Once everything's good, you can now recreate the reimbursement paychecks for your employees. This way, you're certain that the wages and taxes are appropriately calculated.

I'm also including this article that will help you identify what specific report you're going to use to keep track of your books about payroll: Run payroll reports.
