Need to re-issue lost checks

[DHermann]

I have an employee(owner) who lost 3 previously issued payroll checks. One of those checks is from the previous year. How do I go about voiding the previous issued checks and re-issuing without affecting taxes, etc?

Do I simply delete transactions and re-do them with those original dates?

The simplest way is to void those checks through the bank and hand write a replacement check for the total net pay since the taxes have all been paid and everything.

Couldn't I just reprint the checks from the system, as if they had not already been printed?

Could I set the date back, delete the transaction and then re-issue the check, making notes on the check register that the previous checks were lost and re-issued?

I gave you the easiest way. You can reprint them if you have your data backup from both years. And of course, if you restore those backups, you want to be certain you have a backup for the current database status so you can return to that too.

I gave you the safest and easiest solution, but yes reprinting is an option if you get the data you need restored from your backups.
