Replacing a Paycheck in QuickBooks

REPLACING A PAYCHECK 

When an employee loses a paycheck or if their paycheck needs to be revised, the employee will usually bring it to your attention immediately.

You should rarely need to void a paycheck. Remember that voiding a paycheck is not like voiding other kinds of checks; paychecks have associated tax and other liability calculations and payments that need to be taken into consideration.

For this reason, QuickBooks offers the ability to edit, revise and/or re-print the original transaction.

So as a general rule “NEVER VOID A PAYCHECK!”

The following steps may be used to replace a paycheck when taxes have already been remitted and/or monthly/quarterly payroll reports have been completed, and/or when the lost/stolen paycheck occurred in a prior fiscal period, because these steps do not affect ‘cash’, ‘payroll expenses’ or ‘payroll liabilities’ including those previously reported and/or remitted.
