recreate voided paycheck in previous year

I reissued an employee's lost paycheck from 2023 in 2024.

I incorrectly voided the 2023 check rather than the 2024 one. That has resulted in QB creating new payroll liabilities in 2024 for amounts that were already submitted/paid in 2023.

How do I reverse all of this and start again?

Is it possible to restore/recreate the 2023 check?

Thanks for any help.

You've come to the right place, jlthies. I'm here to ensure you can restore the voided 2023 paycheck and ensure you can clear out the payroll liabilities. Let's collaborate to reverse the created transactions.

 

Recreating an employee's paycheck in 2024 will generate new payroll liabilities specific to it with a Pending status. In your case, we'll need to delete the 2024 paychecks to eliminate its associated payroll liabilities.  Afterward, recreate the 2023 paycheck using your pay stubs as a reference. Upon completing this action, review the details carefully and record them accordingly.

 

On the other hand, if you don't have a copy of your pay stubs, I recommend restoring the backup file of your company before changes were made to your payroll. 

 

Furthermore, you can refer to this article to learn more about handling lost paychecks in QuickBooks: Replace a lost or expired paycheck.

 

Ensuring accurate payroll processes is indeed important jlthies. I remain committed to providing the resources and guidance necessary to guarantee a seamless payroll experience for all QuickBooks users, fostering employee productivity across different industries.
