I can help you with this, @flashperformance.

You can create your zero-dollar paycheck as you normally would as long as it doesn’t affect your tax payments and cause any tax penalties. 

1. Follow the steps in How do I create a paycheck for an employee. 
2. When you fill out the pay date, change it to the date you paid your employee.
3. Change the check type from direct deposit to paper check if that's how you paid them, and submit your payroll. 

Note: If you get an alert that says “Select a more recent date” when you send a late payroll, contact us for help.  

I'm also including some helpful articles for you to get some more information on this:

• Process a late payroll (backdate paychecks).

• Create a zero net paycheck.

Let me know if you have more questions on this, I'm here to help!
