How can I delete accidental employee who is currently a 1099?

Hi there, Maurna. 

Thank you for reaching out to the Community. I'd suggest contacting our Customer Care Team. From there, one of our representatives will securely access your account and help you with deleting your employee who's accidentally added in 1099.  

You'll first have to review our support hours to ensure we can assist you on time. I'll guide you how.  

1. Go to the Help (?) menu.
2. Click the Contact Us button.
3. Enter your concern in the field and hit Let’s talk.
4. You can select to Start messaging or Get a callback.  

On the other hand, to prevent an employee from any taxes, you can inactive or terminate them. However, this can be done if they don't have paychecks yet.  

Here's how to delete your employee:

1. From the Payroll menu, select Employees.
2. Click the employee's name.
3. Select Edit Employee.
4. On the bottom part of the screen, click Delete employee. 
5. Press Yes on the prompt message.   

If you'd like to inactivate an employee, you can change their employment status to Terminated.

1. Still, within the Employees tab, find the employee's name.
2. Select the Edit (pencil) icon beside Employment.
3. Click the Active drop-down menu under the Status column.
4. Tap Terminated. 

Please let us know if you have other QuickBooks concerns. We're more than happy to assist you. Take care always!
