How do I enter wages in payroll for last year and then lodge them through STP

Hi there,

We can enter wages paid to employees from previous year by entering backdated pay runs. It's simply by creating the pay runs dated from last year. Here's how to:

1. Click on the Payroll tab.
2. Click on New Pay Run.
3. Select the Pay schedule, pay period ending date and pay date.
4. Click on Create.
5. Check the earnings of each employee to verify. Double check the pay date making sure it belongs to previous year.
6. Click on Finalise pay run when ready.
7. Click on Lodge to the ATO button.

Repeat the same process for other pay run dates. For reference check this link to learn more about: Create and lodge a pay event in QuickBooks Online.
