Can you tell me how to delete checks from last month?

Hi there, @Hopegall91.

Good to see you again here in the Community. I can show you how to delete paychecks from last month in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

You're already on the right track! All you need to do is to click the Date Range drop-down and choose Last month. Please refer to these steps:

1. Go back to the Paycheck list screen.
2. Click the Date Range drop-down beside Employee.
3. Select Last month.
4. Hit Run report to refresh.

From there, locate the two paychecks you'd like to delete. You can also refer to this article that tackles deleting paychecks in QBO for more information: Delete or void employee paychecks.

If you consider running payroll reports in the future, please refer to this article for further guidance: Run payroll reports.

You're always welcome to post again or leave a comment below if you have additional questions about managing paychecks or anything else. I'll be right here to help. Take care and have a good one.

This doesn’t seem to work for me. I tried changing the date range and selecting the duplicate checks but the only option given is PRINT. The DELETE check option is not available for any checks except the current month.

I read in another community ask where they said that’s because it can mess up payroll taxes for a previous month that’s already closed. But I need to remove these extra checks because they are incorrect and increase my payroll tax. 

This doesn’t seem to work for me. I am able to view the list of previous month checks by changing the date range and select the duplicate checks. But the only option for those checks is PRINT. The DELETE check option is unavailable for previous month checks. 

I read in another community ask that that option is removed because it can mess up payroll taxes for previous quarters that are already closed if you delete checks. But I need to do this to fix the incorrect payroll tax amount. 

I know that this would be uneasy for you, and we're here to keep you running correct payroll taxes, @Hopegall91.

In addition to my colleague's recommendation, the delete button would appear for direct deposit paychecks that are unapproved or manually created. If these are older than the latest paychecks, you'll have to contact our Payroll Support team to ask for payroll correction.

Here's how:

1. Go to the (?)Help icon to connect to a live support agent. 
2. Select the Search tab.
3. Click the Contact Us button and enter some details about this concern, then on the Continue/Let's talk button.
   
   
   
   
    
4. You'll now be provided options to choose like Chat or a Callback.
   
   

From there, our representative may need more details to keep your payroll taxes correct by making adjustments internally using their tools.

I'm adding our support hours for more details: QuickBooks Online Payroll Support.

Also, you'll want to read out the details on how to edit the employee's paycheck to correct payroll tax withheld: Void or delete employee paychecks. Then run payroll reports to review if the numbers are occupying payroll data seamlessly.

I'd hope to see updates on how it goes after calling them. If you need further assistance, please let us know. We're always at your back to help. Keep safe and more power to your company!
