Yesterday I made a error in completing the writing of a payroll check that has not been issued yet. Is it best to Delete or Void it. before rewriting a new check.?

Hi there, Post M.

Voiding a paper paycheck is the best option, and I'll explain why.

Even if you haven't issued the paper paycheck to your employee, QuickBooks will still mark it as a paper paycheck in the system. By voiding it, you will remove it from your payroll paycheck list and change its dollar amount to zero.

On the other hand, deleting the paper paycheck only removes it from your payroll paycheck list without changing the dollar amount to zero, and QuickBooks will continue to process the paper paycheck in the system.

To void the paper paycheck, please follow this process:

1. Go to the All apps menu, select Payroll, then choose Employees.
2. Select Paycheck list.
   
   
   
   
3. Choose the affected paycheck, then select the dropdown arrow in the Action column and select Void Paycheck.
4. Confirm your action chosen and select Save.

Moreover, if you want to upgrade your payroll system, explore QuickBooks Payroll's offers, which include sophisticated functionalities, including time tracking and quicker direct deposits that can significantly improve your business efficiency.

Should you require any further information or have any other payroll-related concerns or questions. Feel free to revisit this thread.
