HOW CAN REACTIVATE A PAYROLL ITEM?

Hi there, MAYOTABLAS.

Let's make sure to reactivate your payroll item in QuickBooks Desktop.

First thing to do is include the inactive item within the active item list in your company file. Let me walk you through on where to do it. Here's how:

1. From the main menu, click Lists and select Payroll Item List.
2. At the bottom part of the page, click the Payroll Item drop-down arrow.
3. Select Show Payroll Inactive Items.

This is how it looks like:
