It was a payroll item that was created multiple times for the HSA the wrong way, i can delete from employees but can't delete from all items list. Thanks!

Hello,

Please take note that although it's possible to delete a deduction from an employee, there isn't currently a way to remove a deduction item from Payroll altogether. However, there are alternative solutions that we can explore. Instead of deleting it, we can also edit and unassign. Here's how:

Go to Payroll, then select Employees.
Select Edit payroll items
Select Pay types or Deductions & contributions to see your list of payroll items.
Select the payroll item you want to change
From the employee you want to change, select Edit. Then select Unassign employee.

Moreover, if you really want to delete all items listed in your system, I suggest contacting payroll support to delete them. Here's how:

Sign in to your QuickBooks Online company.
Go to Help (?).
Select Contact Us.
Enter your concern, then select Let's talk.
Choose a way to connect with us:

Start a chat with a support expert.

Doesn't work! There is no Delete icon next to the Payroll item.

This is QBO

Thank you for reaching out to the Community, ALRTreasurer! To clarify, are you trying to remove the payroll item from an employee profile or your Chart of Accounts? If you are trying to remove it from your Chart of Accounts, here's how to make it inactive:

Go to Settings ⚙, then select All lists.
Open Chart of Accounts
Select Delete, Make inactive or Remove from the Action dropdown menu.
Select Yes.

Please let me know if this is what you need. I will be here to assist further. Have a good day.
