I inadvertently attached a payroll check to the wrong bank in my CoA. How do I go back and change that? It is greyed out an not selectable when I try to edit.

That's okay, @steve340. We all make mistakes. We're here now to help you manage your payroll check that's attached to the wrong account.

Since you no longer have the option to modify the paychecks to move to another correct bank account. We can enter the payroll checks manually as journal entries so you can use them to reconcile the account.

Before doing so, I recommend consulting with your accountant for additional guidance in recording this. This way, we'll ensure the accuracy of your accounts after making these changes.

Here's how:

1. Click + New on the left panel.
2. Select Journal Entry.
3. Under the Journal date, enter the paycheck date.

For more details about how to enter the debits and credits for wages and taxes, as well as a sample paycheck, please check the following article: Manually enter payroll paychecks in QuickBooks Online.

To ensure the amounts are accurate, you can run a payroll report (Payroll Summary, Payroll Summary by Employee, or Payroll Details) for reference.

Additionally, to make sure you used the correct account for the next payroll, we can go to the Payroll settings to review and change it to the correct one. You may also refer to the steps below:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Payroll Settings.
2. Click Preferences.
3. Select Accounting Preferences.
4. In the Checking Account drop-down arrow, select the correct account.
