I'm here to ensure your payroll record is accurate, Akent.
Yes, the process you've shared is correct, but sending the paychecks to Intuit will cause duplicates. You'll need to create a replacement paycheck first. Here's how:
- Create a Direct Deposit Offset (DD Offset) payroll item.
- Select Employees and then choose Pay Employees.
- Enter the check date and pay period to match the voided paycheck.
- Place a checkmark next to the affected employee(s) and select the Open Paycheck Detail button.
- In the Preview Paycheck window, clear the Use Direct Deposit checkbox.
- Recreate the check as it was before by entering hours, salary, and/or other payroll items.
- Enter the DD Offset payroll item (created in step 1) in the Other Payroll Items section.
- Enter an amount for the DD Offset item equal to the net amount of the paycheck (the amount for the DD Offset should be a negative number).
- Press Tab to cause the net amount of the paycheck to change to 0.
- Select Save & Close and then click Continue.
- Click on Create Paychecks to record it.
- If the paycheck was in a prior quarter, or if there are paychecks dated after the one you just recreated, run the Payroll Checkup.
Once done, let's make an adjustment to remove this deduction item amount from the liability balances.
- Select Employees on the top menu bar, choose Payroll Taxes and Liabilities and select Adjust Payroll Liabilities.
- Enter a date in both date fields that reflects the period of the check just created.
- Select Company Adjustment.
- In the Item Name column, select the direct deposit offset item.
- In the Amount column, enter a negative (-) number equal to the amount of the DD Offset item on the paycheck.
- Select Accounts Affected and make sure the Do Not Affect Accounts box is selected.
- Select OK twice to record the liability adjustment.
