I appreciate the follow-up response, @DeniseG. I'll be happy to chime in and share the steps to disable the Worker's Compensation tracking in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).
In QBDT, it's necessary to set up Workers' Compensation prior to paying your employees, so your reports won't be inaccurate or incomplete.
However, if you wish to disable this option, please see these steps:
- Go to Edit and select Preferences.
- Click Benefits & HR and go to the Company Preferences tab.
- Uncheck the Track Workers Comp box.
- Click OK, then OK.

Furthermore, I'm sharing this list of payroll reports that will be beneficial whenever you need an overview of employee wages, taxes, and contributions: Run payroll reports.
