When you void a check in Payroll, you can control the Check Date and Accounting Date for the reversing entries.

The Check date controls:

• The period that tax amounts are reversed for tax reporting.
• The period that wages, fringes, and deductions are reversed from the employees' totals.

Voiding a check using a check date in a prior period will affect tax reporting in the prior period, tax payments and filings may need to be ammended.

The Accounting date controls:

• The period in General Ledger, Job Cost, Equipment Cost, and Billing entries are reversed for all cash, cost, and liabilities associated with the check.

Voiding a check using an accounting date in a prior period will affect financial reporting, subbmitted financials may need to be ammended.

To determine the accounting date and check date to use when voiding your payroll checks, contact your certified accountant and tax advisor.
