Made a mistake on a payroll check & have paid payroll taxes already-help!

Hi,

 

I've processed payroll already & printed the checks & paid the liabilities. Now the store manager told me that one of the employee's paychecks had 13+ hours too much on it!! I'll need help please-I know I can delete the paycheck & run an "unscheduled payroll" for the replacement check.


However, since I've paid the liabilities, how does that impact our taxes-will I be paying twice? Is there anything I can do?

 

Please help ASAP!

 

Thanks in advance!

I got you cover, @PizzaPlus.

 

I have some information about the overpaid payroll liability payment. There are two ways that you can do with it. Either you leave the payment as it is and apply it to your next payment or contact the IRS for a refund.

 

To apply the overpayment to the next payment, you'll just have to delete the paycheck. Automatically, QuickBooks will recalculate your payroll liabilities and the data in your reports. This way, you'll have an adjustment in your next payment. Otherwise, you can delete and recreate the liability payment in QBDT, then contact the IRS for the refund.

 

To delete:

 

  1. In your Home Page, go to Pay Liabilities.
  2. Locate the payment check under the Payment History section.
  3. Double-click to open. Then, tap the Delete button at the top.
  4. Hit OK when prompted.

After deleting the check, you'll want to recreate it in QuickBooks with the correct amount for recording purposes. Then, contact the IRS or your state agency for the refund.

 

Additionally, here's a link that covers all the tasks you can do when using the payroll feature. Just browse for topics that suit your concern.

 

Let me know if you still have questions or concerns with payroll. I'm always here for you. Take care and have a wonderful day ahead.
