Quickbooks Desktop Worker's Compensation Tracking

Client no longer wants to track workers comp.

All codes were deleted from the WC Code List, except for "exempt" because the program will allow that item to be deleted.

All WC codes were deleted from the employee records.

Unfortunately, the WC code column still shows up when the client tries to run payroll, and the program keeps asking for a WC code.

Is there a way to disable or turn off WC tracking?

I appreciate the follow-up response, @DeniseG. I'll be happy to chime in and share the steps to disable the Worker's Compensation tracking in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

 

In QBDT, it's necessary to set up Workers' Compensation prior to paying your employees, so your reports won't be inaccurate or incomplete.

 

However, if you wish to disable this option, please see these steps:

 

  1. Go to Edit and select Preferences.
  2. Click Benefits & HR and go to the Company Preferences tab.
  3. Uncheck the Track Workers Comp box.
  4. Click OK, then OK.

 

Furthermore, I'm sharing this list of payroll reports that will be beneficial whenever you need an overview of employee wages, taxes, and contributions: Run payroll reports.

 

Feel free to swing by the Community anytime if you need additional assistance removing the Worker's Compensation tracking in QBDT. We're always around to provide support whenever you need it. Keep safe and have a great rest of the day!

Yes, on the QuickBooks menu go to Edit | Preferences | Payroll & Employees | Company Preferences | Workers Compensation and then de-select the Track Workers Compensation checkbox.
