Payroll - forgot to write a payroll check for last year but paid taxes on it

rjp21 · ‎February 21, 2022

help, please

I processed a manual payroll check in QuickBooks for June 2021 but didn't realize until just now that I never actually wrote the check. (I normally do direct deposit but had missed the cutoff date for that payroll period.) So, it's been reported as paid, and I've paid the employer taxes on it.

Can I write a check today AND still have the 2021 numbers balance correctly?

fyi: This is for the majority owner of the company. There is also a minority owner who was paid for that time period.

TIA!

Yes, in this case you can write a check today for the owner.

Don't change anything in QuickBooks, except perhaps the check number on the original paycheck.

Hello,

Let's say that the check was for $2000.

So for my 2021 financial statements, the company bank account will just show $2k more than it should. No issues with that?

regards, JP
