It's clear that QB isn't taking the hit for the issue with their product.  I lucked out and got someone random who had a friend help him through the issue.  I can't say what they did, I wasn't on the IT side but it saved me from deleting and re-entering everything but know this, even an auditor told us not to delete and re-enter because you have already posted taxes to that payroll and processed them through the IRS and state (whichever state you are in taxes differ) and not to mention the reports are changed that are reported.  Quickbooks needs to remember they are not accountants. The fix they keep telling everyone is not acceptable. They are a software program company that is it.  Please before making changes to your payroll reach out to your accountant and auditor and be sure that that is the step you want to take, I guarantee you they are going to tell you it is a huge red flag.  QUICKBOOKS FIND A FIX! One that doesn't toy with our accounts.
