Voiding payroll

I need to void a whole payroll and start over. Is there any way to do this without voiding each separate check? Should I void all the checks and do another payroll/unscheduled? Will that affect my liabilities or quarterlies in any way?

Good day, Lyd.

 

Voiding paychecks can be done one at a time. For Direct Deposit transaction, you can void it before the processing begins at 5 P.M. Pacific time, 2 days before the paycheck date. Also, voiding paychecks will impact on your bank account's balance, expense account, and on your payroll liabilities. You'll need to amend tax forms if corrections were made before filing them. Check this article to know more about voiding a paycheck.

 

You can void all the paychecks. If you already processed the forms and liabilities from the previous months, it would be best to ask assistance from your accountant.

In the rare case where it's appropriate to void paychecks (typically only when created by accident or in any case not yet distributed) you can do this quickly.

 

Pick Edit/Void Paychecks from the Employees menu.  Then enter the desired check date range.

 

Then click on each check and then the Void button at the bottom of the dialog.  Repeat as needed.
