Employees and payroll

Thanks for getting back to us here, @Moman.

I'll share some information about recording the received paychecks. As mentioned by my colleague @RenjolynC, you'll see an option to Enter [Year] prior pay details if it's your first time running payroll in QuickBooks. If that's the case, you'll want to follow the steps provided by my peer above to record prior payroll.

However, if you've already created paychecks in QuickBooks, you can process your payroll to record the prior paychecks. Here's how:

1. Go to Payroll and then select Employees.
2. Tick Run payroll. Then, choose your pay schedule.
3. Tap Continue.
4. Select Paper Check as your Pay Method. Then, enter your paycheck details (see the image below).
5. Tap Review payroll, and then Submit payroll.
6. Click Finish payroll. 

Learn more about processing payroll in this guide: Process or run payroll.

Additionally, here's a link that covers all the tasks you can do when using the payroll feature. Just look for responses that fit your concern.

Don't hesitate to reply anytime if you still have questions or clarifications about payroll. I'm more than happy to assist you. Take care and have a great day ahead.
