Hi there, 

 

I know how important it is to ensure your books are up-to-date and displaying accurate information. QuickBooks Online makes it simple for you to edit and remove certain employees, and I'd be happy to explain the process on how to do that. 

 

Rather than permanently deleting your employee in the system, you'll have the option to make them "inactive". This is similar to deleting them, but the program has been designed this way to give you the option to continue to access their information if you ever needed it in the future. 

To make your employee inactive, click the Employees tab, select the employee from the list, then click Edit. Change their Employment Status to Inactive. This will remove them from your active customer list. 

 

That should help get you back on track! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to our tech support team and one of our agents will be delighted to help. 

 

Cheers.
