Restoring deleted payroll transaction in QBs Online

We have inadvertently deleted 4 payroll transactions from QBs online and they no longer appear in the individual EE's record.  QBs sent us a spreadsheet to complete so that they could restore the transactions, but the spreadsheet requires tax amounts that we do not know/have because QBs actually runs our payroll.  Can we use a previous paycheck from each employee to determine percentages for taxes?

 

Thanks,

Nanette

Restoring deleted payroll transaction in QBs Online

Hello there, @TWE3. I'm here to help you restore the deleted payroll transactions in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Yes, you can recover the deleted payroll transactions using the previous paychecks as basis to determine percentages for taxes. You could also use payroll calculator to calculate the amount.

Additionally, if you have payroll subscription, QBO will recalculate those transactions automatically. If you don't have payroll subscription, you can calculate the withholdings manually. Manually entering payroll paychecks into QuickBooks Online tracks your payment totals.

Here's how:

Step 1: Create manual tracking accounts

You'll need to create expense and liability accounts in QuickBooks to track the amounts.

Step 2: Enter the payroll paychecks into QBO

When you enter the payrolls paychecks, you can add them as journal entries.
 

  1. Gather all your employees' payroll pay stubs or a payroll report from your payroll service.
  2. Click on + New.
  3. Select Journal Entry.
  4. Under the Journal date, enter the paycheck date.
  5. In case you want to track the paycheck number, enter it in the Journal no. field.
