Note: If you're still setting up your account, find out how to add past payrolls while onboarding. To learn how to report past (historical) payments for a contractor, go to this article.
There may be times when you need to run payroll with a past check date to correctly report wages. If you forgot to report wages for an employee who was already paid in Gusto, follow these steps.
Even if you run a non-Gusto payroll, Gusto will not file your tax returns until you process a regular, off-cycle, or bonus payroll in your account.
Important reminder: When you report a payroll with a check date in the past that's outside your assigned tax deposit frequency, you may get late-payment penalties and interest (along with notices) from federal or state agencies.
