PR Employee Changed Address

Question

I have an employee that moved from one state to another and forgot to tell us. We have only processed 1 payroll for this year under the wrong state and i would like to some how "reverse" out the State taxes from that state and put them into the correct state. I thought I could just do a negative in the wrong state and a positive in the correct state and all would be good. But....In the payroll master file for the employee, there is a state tax that has all their wages and subject to info. Do I need to just manually adjust that info and keep an audit trail of it? Or is there some other way of taking care of it? I would like to get it taken care of before I have to send in my end of the month state withholding deposits. 
 
 Thank you in advance.

So do you have reciprocal agreements setup in Payroll in order to calculate the taxes in the resident state? 
 The process will be very similar to what John McLagan stated. If there is reciprocity setup and you have already changed the resident state on the setup of the employee you may only need to void, retain as new, process the check that is in the new file, and adjust the amount of the tax withheld to match what was withheld on the original check.

Guybor - 
 You can VOID Direct Deposits the same way you void checks. The recommended workflow to correct this would be to VOID the original check and update the data. In the enter check screen, you can adjust taxes, deductions, fringes to match the original check as necessary. A separate adjustment check with MISC deductions or pays is not required. 
 Hope this helps.
