Our company is located in Arkansas and all work is performed in Arkansas, however, a few of our employee's live in Missouri.  Upon reviewing W2's, the previous manager had withholding taken out for Missouri instead of Arkansas for those employee's.  Is there a way to correct this before filing and issuing W2's?

Hello there, @eqi2201.

 

Yes, you'll just have to edit all the paychecks that were withheld to the incorrect states. Then make sure to enter the correct information together with the State location(Arkansas).

 

You can follow the details in this article to delete the paycheck: Delete or void employee paychecks.

 

Then, recreate the paycheck with the correct information: How do I create a paycheck for an employee?

 

Also, I'd still suggest contacting your accountant. They can further review the transaction and help you edit the details.

 

This article contains references about running payroll in QBDT, you can read the topic here for additional references.

 

If you have other questions or concerns, please let me know. I'll be around for you. Take care and have a great day ahead.

  After deleting/voiding the paycheck, will it need to be recreated and submitted to Intuit with corrected dates/information as if it were being created now? I just want to make sure it will not be deducted from our bank account.

Thanks for getting back to us, eqi2201.

 

To ensure the recreated paycheck will not be deducted again to your bank account, you'll need to choose the unscheduled payroll.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click on Employees at the top menu bar.
  2. Select on Payroll Center.
  3. In the Pay Employees section, select Start Unscheduled Payroll.
  4. Select the employee or employees you're paying.
  5. Remove the option to Use Direct Deposit.
  6. When the checks are ready to be created, select Continue.
  7. Verify the amounts for each employee, and select Create Paychecks.

 

To know when to void or delete a paycheck, check out this article: Delete or void employee paychecks. It contains more information when to make changes or stop a direct deposit.

 

Additionally, for your payroll reference: Payroll 101. It contains more information about the different types of compensation as well as on what are the types of federal forms you need to file. Also, this will provide you a sample breakdown of a paycheck.

 

Please know that you're always welcome to post if you have any other questions about payroll or any QuickBooks-related concerns. Wishing you and your business continued success.

Thank you.  I have only tried this for one payroll check and wanted to double check before going any further.   I had to void the paycheck (it wouldn't give me the option to delete since it was originally a direct deposit), I recreated the check as unscheduled and did not use DD.  However, it is still deducting from my balance in QB.  Is there a way to delete the previous void?  When I pull up the register and open the detail, in the memo it reads " VOID: Direct Deposit Payroll Service funds not recovered" I understand the newly created paycheck will not be the same as the voided since we had to change withholding due to the error of the incorrect state being used and this will effect taxes for the state on our end and possibly wages for the employee.

Hi there, eqi2201.

 

I appreciate you for coming back here to QuickBooks Community to add additional clarifications about a concern.

 

Once you void and recreate a paycheck that already processed, it must be recreated with the original check date and use the net amount. With this, if you void the paycheck after the processing time, the debit from your bank account for payroll taxes and direct deposit may not be stopped. That said, when you choose to Void a paycheck, this changes your paycheck records and updates the paycheck dollar amount to zero.

 

On the other hand, there's no way to delete or undo the previous voided check. You'll need to manually recreate the paycheck as a workaround.

 

For additional information about how voided paycheck works in QBDT, you can refer to the articles below.

 

 

Please refer to this article to see steps on how you can request a direct deposit reversal to returns funds to your account: Reverse a direct deposit.

 

Don't hesitate to leave a comment below if you have other questions about the paycheck. I'll be around to help. Have a good one.
