Missing 401k employer match

My employer match to my 401(k) kicked in this year. I neglected to enter it into my paycheck in Quicken until after the first pay period had come and gone. When I go back and manually enter one, the amount is deducted from my checking account. I've looked at automatically-entered transactions, and what I did was identical to them. They all specified my checking account as the source of the money, but there are no concurrent deductions, as it should be. The only difference is a Memo that says "Employer Match Contribution" Quicken did give me a pop-up asking if it was an employer match, to which I responded yes.

So... how do I get this one missing employer match to show up correctly, without deducting money from any of my accounts?

If I'm understanding you correctly, you modify the paycheck transaction in the Quicken deposit account register. Specifically, you Edit the 401k Pre-Tax deduction and put the amount of your employer match in the "Employer Match" field. Doing that should cause no change to the paycheck gross, or net.

As it's relatively early in the year, I'd just delete the existing paycheck transactions, recreate the paycheck transaction form with the match amount included, then recreate each paycheck.
