I use QuickBooks Desktop 2021 and my Workers Compensation section is gone from payroll.  It's not even listed in the preferences anymore.  Did this get removed with an update?  I need to be able to adjust the codes on my employees as they change from project to project.  Please help!!

Hi there, @Devinp1.

 

I'm here to provide information about the Worker's Compensation in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

The Worker's Compensation is still available in the QBDT version you're using. If your payroll subscription is active, you should be able to see it.

 

To isolate this, let's run the built-in Rebuild and Verify tools. This automatically fixes minor company file data issues. Here's how to do it:

 

  1. In QBDT, go to the File menu, then hover over Utilities and select Rebuild Data.
  2. On the QuickBooks Information window, select OK. Follow the onscreen steps to save a backup.
  3. Let the tool repair your file. It may take some time. QuickBooks may seem stuck, but as long as you can move your mouse, the tool is working.
  4. When the tool finishes, select OK.
  5. Go to the File menu. Then hover over Utilities and select Verify Data.
  6. Let the tool check your file for data issues.

 

If QuickBooks doesn't find any problems, select OK. You can keep using your company file. You don't have any data damage. If it finds an issue, select Rebuild Now.

 

If the same thing happens, check out this article and proceed to Solutions 2 - 4 for more troubleshooting steps: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.

I appreciate your interest in understanding how QuickBooks Desktop handles insurance tracking, Maricelhe. QuickBooks Desktop only supports tracking workers' compensation insurance directly within its system, but I know how you can set up general liability insurance.

 

In QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), once you already have workers' compensation set up, you can't add similar item types for the same coverage. To effectively manage your general liability insurance, I recommend exploring third-party applications that can seamlessly integrate with QBDT.

 

You can find compatible options by visiting our QuickBooks Desktop App Store and navigating to the CATEGORIES section to select an app that best meets your business needs.


I've included a screenshot for your reference:
