Hi fairfield-impex,

Thank you for posting in the Community.

Let's start by checking if the default accounts are active in your payroll chart of accounts. Here's how:

1. Click on the Employees tab.
2. Click on Payroll Settings.
3. Click on Chart of accounts.
4. Click on Default accounts, go to Manage accounts.
5. Check if all default accounts are active.

If the default payroll chart of accounts is active, let's check the chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online too. Here's how:

1. Click on the Accounting tab.
2. Click on Chart of accounts.
3. Check if default accounts in the payroll chart of accounts are showing active in the list example: Wage expense, and Payroll clearing account.

If the issue persists I'd recommend contacting our Customer Care Team to further check your account in a secured form. Or you can give us a call on 1800 046 038 from 8:00 AM - 10:00 PM (AEDT) Mon - Fri.

Feel free to let me know if you need any help. Have a great day!
