Hi there, @userfinance21.
Yes, you can generate an ROE in QuickBooks Online (QBO) before the employee's termination date. You can do it by temporarily making your employee inactivate or change her or his status to terminated. Then, generate the ROE and make the employee active again.
To change your employee's status to Terminated:
- Go to the Employees or Payroll menu.
- Click on All Employees from the drop-down menu.
- Select the desired employee from the list.
- Tap on Edit ✎ next to Employment.
- Under Status, change the employee's status from Active to Terminated.
- Select a Reason for status change and enter the appropriate Termination date.
- Hit Done.
- A pop-up will appear asking if you'd like to create the employee's Record of Employment. Select Yes.
After that, create and view the ROE in QuickBooks.
On the other hand, you can learn more about filing ROE from here: When and How to File a Record of Employment.
Please let me know if you have any other questions about preparing ROE in QBO. I'll be right here to provide additional assistance. Have a good one!
