Duplicate payrolll entries over time.

I understand the feeling if something isn't right, @Swannee. I'm here to provide the support you need and help you fix duplicate payroll entries in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Verifying the payroll transactions entered when reconciling the banks is a good idea. If you entered it correctly in QuickBooks, there's a possibility that an extra paycheck was generated.  

Here are the easy steps to delete that duplicate paycheck:
 

1. Click Payroll, then choose Employees.
2. Select Paycheck list.
3. Tap the paycheck(s) you'd like to delete, then hit Delete.
    
   
4. Tick Yes.
    

See this article for more info: Delete or void employee paychecks. 

If you're still unable to delete the paycheck, please reach out to our payroll support team. They have specific tools to help you delete the duplicate paycheck. To connect with them, refer to these steps:

Here's how:

1. Go to the Help menu at the upper right.
2. Select the Search tab.
3. Press Contact Us at the bottom part. 
4. Enter your concern in the What can we help you with? box.
5. Click Continue.
6. Select Chat with us or Have us call you.
   

Additionally, you can utilize the payroll reporting features in QBO. These reports allow you to handle payroll taxes and efficiently track employee expenses.

I'll keep this thread available if you have more questions or need assistance with duplicate payroll entries or other relevant concerns. I'm here to assist you, @Swannee. Have a good one.

i THINK i AM CLOSE TO FINISHING MY RECONCILIATION OF BANK ACCOUNTS FOR THE PAST YEAR.  i have some questions, however.  On the reconciliation, many items are shown as not having been reconcilied, thus "open".   IF I change the designation for R as reconciled,  will this fix the problem?  And Payroll shows only one check for each person each payroll, so I dont see duplicates.  Is this designation (e.g R or C) only for purposes of the bank rec?  That is, if I change the designation to R, will that resolve the problem?
