How do you remove payroll tasks from your dashboard that have been completed outside of QBs?

Thank you for posting here, @dancingfish.

If you're referring to the payroll form filed outside the system that is still displayed in the task reminder, you can remove it by archiving them. Here's how:

1. Select Taxes and choose Payroll.
2. Click Annual Forms.
3. Choose the payroll form.
4. Tap Archive.

Then, to further assist you with this, I recommend reaching out to our QBO care team. They use specific tools to check your account in a safe environment and help you remove the Payroll Tasks on your Dashboard. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Help menu and select Contact Us.
2. In the What can we help you with? enter a Remove payroll tasks on the Dashboard.
3. Then, click Continue.
4. Choose either Chat with us or Have us call you.

Also, QuickBooks Online offers several payroll reports that you can pull up to access your business and employee information. To get started, see our Payroll reports page.
