Somehow deleted a payroll period but it appears as paid from my bank. How do I recreate this in quickbooks only?

Hi nancy126,

 

It's a pleasure to see you in Community.  Welcome!  It's important that your payment has been recorded in QuickBooks online so you can reconcile the associated account with confidence.  I'd be happy to provide more information so you can accomplish your QuickBooks goals as soon as possible!

 

You can enter historical payroll tax payments by following these steps;

 

1. Open Taxes from the left menu and select Payroll tax

2. Choose Enter prior tax history

3. Click on Add payment

4. Enter the payment details, including the Start date, End date and Payment date.  

5. Include the total of each Tax type paid

6. Hit OK when finished

 

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach back out.  We'd be glad to help!

Hi Trish,

 

I may not have described my dilemma correctly. The payment to my employee and the tax payment I made to CRA are missing from quickbooks only. My employee has been paid and CRA has been paid too. Somewhere that whole month was removed from my quickbooks records. (I have only one employee.) I need to recreate payroll and the PD7A for 1 month only.

 

No problem with step 1.

I am hung up on Step 2. Choose Enter prior tax history. 

 

Thanks for the help. Nancy

Hi nancy126,

 

Thanks for getting back to me with additional details of your situation.  Since you've already paid your employee, I suggest proceeding to > Payroll > Employees > Run payroll for your employee as a paper cheque.  This will allow you to set the appropriate Pay schedule and Pay date to ensure the applicable taxes are calculated accordingly.  Once you've completed the payroll process, you'll see the Paycheque list in the Payroll module and the associated PD7A will be available in the Payroll tax centre.

 

If you require additional assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us so we can work with you in real time and ensure you're able to accomplish your QuickBooks Online Payroll goals as soon as possible.
