Simplify payday and set payroll to run automatically on QuickBooks.Explore QuickBooks Payroll

My Payroll tax year shows 2024-2025 and I have no pencil icon to edit and set to 2025-2026. I have tried a private browser window and also cleared cache, any ideas?

Further detail. Company has been dormant since setup (July 2024) and I have not run a payroll. The company is now active (since 05/01/2026) and I need to pay myself, however the payroll can't process a payment as today's date is outside of the active tax year.

Hello there, Christa10. Since those browser fixes didn't bring the pencil icon back, I recommend contacting our QuickBooks Online Payroll support team directly. They can assess this issue and help restore the edit features you need to process your January 2026 payments.
