Need to void a paycheck in Desktop

Needed to correct an employee name.  Payroll check was saved, not printed and no check number.  Another paycheck was completed and printed.  Now I can't delete or void the first transaction.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!

I appreciate you joining the thread and sharing your concerns with us, @GearheadInLA

 

I'll chime in to clarify some things about my colleague's response above and lend a hand in voiding your paychecks. 

 

Beforehand, know that while voiding paychecks depends on your processing time, the debit from your bank account for payroll taxes and direct deposit may not be stopped.

 

Here's how to do it: 
 

  1. Select the Employees menu, then select Edit/Void Paychecks.
  2. Change the Show paychecks through/from dates to the date of the paychecks you need to void, then press Tab on your keyboard.
  3. Select the check-in question and select Void.
  4. In the pop-up box, enter YES and select Void.
  5. Select the checkbox to agree to the terms and conditions of voiding the paycheck.

 

Here's an article you can refer to for more details about the process: Delete or void employee paychecks
