Cancelling Payroll Run

Bronze_Palms — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 06:48:57 GMT

Hi!

I accidentally ran payroll for an employee for 3 weeks instead of 1. She is no longer with the business so I was trying to pay her out. I already paid her for those first 2 of 3 weeks, though.

Since it is after 7pm, I was unable to cancel it, but I chose the "check" option versus direct deposit. I have the incorrect amount so I will not be cutting a check.

I am going to direct deposit her for the correct amount, however, how do I update this in Square reporting and how do I update this with the IRS? They are debiting for 3 weeks of taxes versus 1. I already paid those first two weeks.

Hi @Bronze_Palms,

When I've had issues like that in the past I've called the Square Payroll support and they've been able to correct it for me. Usually I would get refunded within a couple of days for anything deducted from my account and adjusting any reporting.
