Thanks for reaching out. Making sure you have the right payroll YTD information is important for you and your employees, so I want to make sure this gets taken care of as quickly as possible. Being able to see exactly what's happened and how you've got things set up will help greatly with that.

I paid too much by 350.00 and he paid it back.  I need to reduce his salary by that much.  No FICA or taxes came out.  He is contract labor.

Thanks for joining this conversation, @MaryPittman45.

If it wasn't a Direct Deposit (DD) paycheck, you can just open that specific paycheck and manually edit the amount to correct it.

Here's how:

1. In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), go to the Employees menu at the top to get to the Edit/Void Paycheck.
2. Enter a date range to find the paycheck.
3. Select the check-in question and tick the Paycheck Detail option. 
4. Enter the necessary changes, then save.

However, if it's a DD, you can void the paycheck and recreate a new one with the correct amount. Here's how:

1. Go back to the Employees menu at the top to get to the Edit/Void Paycheck.
2. Enter a date range to find the paycheck.
3.  Select the check-in question, and click Void.
4. In the pop-up box, enter YES and tick Void.
5. Select the checkbox to agree to the terms and conditions of voiding the paycheck.

After that, here's how to send the voided paychecks:

1. On the Employees menu, select Send Payroll Data.
2. Click Send. You won't see any direct deposit checks to send, but this lets our system know to cancel the paychecks.
3. Enter your payroll PIN, then select OK.

Once done, you can now recreate it with the correct amount. Consider checking out this article for the detailed steps on how: How do I create a paycheck for an employee?
