I'll walk you through the process of reactivating an inactive contractor in QuickBooks Online (QBO), @idf_8c4e6f40-062.

 

You can find inactive contractors in the Vendors tab. Follow these steps:

 

  1. Highlight the Expenses tab.
  2. Select Vendors.
  3. Click the small Gear icon above the Action column.
  4. Tick the Include inactive box.
  5. Tap the Make active link under the Action column.

 

In case you need to make changes to a contractor's information, keep this article for future reference: Edit Contractor Information.

 

Tag me in a comment below if you have other questions about contractors in QBO. I'll be around to help you out. Have a pleasant day!

Hi Ryan and thanks.

 

But I don't have a Vendors tab anywhere. Perhaps I'm on a different plan?

Thank you for getting back to us, idf_8c4e6f40-062.

 

The steps provided by my colleague Ryan are for QuickBooks Online. While I'm unable to pull up an account here in the Community Forum, you can take a screenshot of your account. This way, I'll be able to check which QuickBooks plan you have. 

 

Once you have the file, click the Reply button below, then attach the screenshot. 

 

I'm adding this link to also help you pay contractors once you activate them: Learn how to pay your contractors using direct deposit in QuickBooks or Intuit Payroll.

 

I'll keep this post while waiting for your response. Thank you and stay safe!
