payroll direct deposit to check

Hey there, PresCab476.

 

Thanks for reaching out for support here in the Community. I'm happy to provide some info about unclearing the check in your QuickBooks Desktop account.

 

This can be done in a few steps. Here's how:

 

1. Click the Banking tab in the top menu of your Desktop account.

2. Select Use Register.

3. Choose the correct bank account where the check is located and click OK.

4. Locate the check in question, and click the check mark to remove it. 

 

The check mark signifies that the transaction has cleared and removing it will unclear the paycheck. You may want to discuss this with your accountant to be sure of the next steps. Please feel free to reach back out in the comments below if you have any other questions. I'll be here to lend a hand.
