QB Online, paychecks and bank account.

I can help you with this, ccuppl02.

 

We can no longer directly change the bank account of your previous paychecks since it's already been processed. To modify those paychecks, we'll have to delete then create them. Before diving in, let's update your bank account first to make sure that you're payroll records are accurate moving forward. I'll guide you how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon, then choose Payroll Settings.
  2. In the section titled Bank Accounts, next to Company select Edit Account.
  3. Enter the new bank account.
  4. Click Save when you're done.

After making the changes, we'll have to update your bank account in the Accounting Preferences. Doing this process ensures the paychecks processed through the new bank account are properly listed in the correct check register.

 

Then, we can now start deleting and recreating the paychecks using the exact same information. I'd also recommend taking a screenshot of the paychecks before deleting them for your reference. I've listed the steps below.

 

Delete paychecks:

 

  1. Select Workers from the sidebar menu.
  2. Click the Employees tab.
  3. Select Paycheck list under Run Payroll,
  4. Change the date range if necessary and select the paycheck you want to delete.
  5. Click the Delete button.
  6. Mark the checkbox to confirm the deletion.
  7. Hit Delete Paycheck.

Recreate paychecks:

 

  1. Sign in to QuickBooks Online.
  2. Go to Workers and select Employees.
  3. Select Run Payroll.
  4. Choose the employees you'd like to pay then enter the hours and memos based on the deleted ones.
  5. Select Preview payroll.
  6. Click Preview payroll details or Submit payroll.
  7. Hit Finish Payroll to complete the process.

QB Online, paychecks and bank account.

I voided the old paycheck from the incorrect check register (the Direct Deposit came out of the new bank account correctly).  Now I want to recreate the old paychecks in the correct (new) check register,  When I recreate the payroll check, the system wants to pay the employee again through DD.  I tried to change to paper check, but it keeps taking me to help page.  

I just want to correct the check registers.  How?

Thank you for joining the thread, @DeborahSue.

 

To successfully recreate the payroll check, you can temporarily change each employees' payment method to paper-check. Then, enter the paycheck manually. Once completed, update the employees' payment method back to direct deposit.

 

  1. From your QuickBooks Online account, select Payroll at the left pane.
  2. Select Employees.
  3. Click on the employee's name from the list.
  4. Tap on the pencil icon beside the Pay button.
  5. Go to the number 7 section, then choose Paper check.
  6. Hit Done.

 

Once completed, enter the paycheck manually. Then, update the employees' payment method back to direct deposit.
