Hi there, @rthrasher. I would be more than happy to help you delete old pay types in QuickBooks Online.

 

All you need to do is access the employee's profile and uncheck the unused pay types. Here's how:

  1. Go to the Payroll menu and select Employees.
  2. Select the name of the employee.
  3. Under the How much do you pay section, select the Edit icon next to Add additional pay types.
  4. Uncheck the box for unused pay types.
  5. Click Save.

 

By unchecking the box next to these pay types, they'll no longer appear as an option when you run payroll. Here's a guide for your reference: Add or Change Pay Types.

 

Additionally, here's an article about how each pay types and deductions affect federal taxes and forms: Supported Pay Types and Deductions.

 

Fill me in should you need have any other payroll questions or concerns. I'm always here to help. Have a great day.

Can you explain why this first paytype is unable to be unchecked?  I want to inactivate it, but I'm unable to.
