Hi there, @fillthegap.
I can share other fixes to rectify the amount on your payroll checks. Before that, I acknowledge the importance of having the correct rates to release accurate amounts with your direct deposits in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
You’re right that the paychecks with zero amounts are the ones that prevent you from updating your payroll properly. Hence, there’s no need to delete them as we can perform additional steps to trigger and sync them to the system. Here’s how:
- Go to the Employees menu and select Send Payroll Data.
- Verify the amount of the direct deposit is zero in the Items to Send section.
- Select Send.
- Enter the PIN for your direct deposit.
- A successful payroll session will be indicated by a message. The Items Received portion of the Send Payroll Data window displays a confirmation report.
After that, you can start updating your QuickBooks Desktop company file to the latest release including your tax table. This will stay compliant with paycheck calculations and obtain the latest fixes in the product.
Furthermore, you can also pull up a variety of payroll reports in QuickBooks. This will give you a closer look at your employee's total wages, deductions, and tax information in a certain period. For the complete list of available payroll reports and how to pull them up, kindly refer to this article: Run payroll reports.
Keep me posted if you have other concerns or any follow-up questions about payroll. The Community is 24/7 available to help. Have a good one!
