Can I post a few missing paychecks from earlier in the year??

You've come to the right place, @rance.

Yes, you can enter a prior payroll to record the missing paychecks in your QuickBooks account. I can guide you how.

1. Go to the Workers menu.
2. Choose the Employees tab.
3. Select the employee that has missing paychecks.
4. Scroll down to the How much did you pay Employee so far this year? section.
5. Click the Enter 2019 prior pay details link.
6. Enter your employee's missing paycheck details. 
7. Click Continue.
8. Hit Done.

Thank You, I am using QB Online payroll and I have already entered paychecks for the employee but several were never entered and I need to go in and enter them so that the employees year end stub and payroll reports are correct??

I do not see the option you describe when I go into the employee??

Thank you for the clarification, rance.

The option to enter prior payroll is only available if there's no paycheck run within QuickBooks. You can create backdated checks, though. Just click the Pay period drop-down to see the available pay period you can run. Note that not all dates will be visible. If the paycheck you need to add is beyond the dates you can go back to, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks support. We will be the one to add the payroll data adjustments on your account. Here's how:

1. Click the Help icon.
2. Select Contact us.
3. Enter add prior payroll data, then click Let's talk.
4. Select from Start messaging or Get a callback.
