Welcome to the Community, @LD0415.

 

Let me share additional information about setting up employee information in QuickBooks Online.

 

I understand you encountered an error message "Another employee, vendor, or customer is already using this name. Please enter a different name." when adding an employee in QuickBooks Online. This means you have used an identical set of names. Since you checked your employee lists and found no duplicates, I suggest verifying if you have similar names for inactive customers and vendors.

 

If there is a similar name, you can add another character or a second name to make it different.

 

As your future reference, I'm sharing this article that will help you generate payroll information, which is helpful during the filing of taxes: Run payroll reports.

 

Let me know if you have questions about setting up an employee in QuickBooks Online. I'm always here to help. Have a great day.
