I have QB 22.  The 401k reports are different than I need them to be (how they were in QB 19)  How do I make changes in the report (22 version)?

It's nice to see you here in the Community, @mak2022.

Intuit strives to improve the accessibility and usability of our websites for all users. That said, QuickBooks Desktop 2022 includes recent features that can seamlessly manage your account like reports, data sync, etc.

Though changing the report in QBDT 2022 to be the same in QBDT 2019 is unavailable. However, it's still the same process when you run the 401k report in QuickBooks. For more details about the recent update, see this article: New and improved features in QuickBooks Desktop 2022.

Also, you can follow the steps shared by my colleagues on this thread on how to pull up the 401k report in QuickBooks.

I've also added these articles that will help you customize and export your report through an excel file:

• Excel based payroll reports

I'm here to lend a hand if you have more questions regarding this or other QuickBooks concerns. Have a good one.

Why when I run my Deferred Compensation Report 401(k) does it only report with the employees up to last name starting with D.  I need to submit this report asap and the report does not calculate properly.  Why does it only show about 25% of my employees??

Hi marie20,

Let's fix the employee list on the 401K report by running the verify and rebuild steps.

To start with, click the File menu. Select Utilities, and then Verify Data. If you see an error message, search for it on our QuickBooks Desktop support site for how to fix it. If the system prompts you with Your data has lost integrity message, it indicates that data damage was found in the file. Thus, you'll have to rebuild it. Here's how:

1. Click the File menu.
2. Under Utilities, select Rebuild Data.
3. Select OK to create a backup copy of your file.
4. You can choose where you want to save the backup file. Then, click OK.
5. Enter a new file name.
6. Click Save.
7. Select OK when the rebuild is complete.

I've also added these articles as your guide in customizing payroll reports and exporting them to an Excel spreadsheet:

• Customize payroll and employee reports
• Export reports as Excel workbooks in QuickBooks Desktop

I'm always around whenever you have concerns in running reports.

unfortunately that did not work.  I need to submit this report asap as part of an audit and I am unable to run a report that should honestly only take a few minutes to run.  It is the deferred compensation 401(k) report and it only exports employees last name A-D, so only a percentage of my total employees.  How do I get this report so I can submit it???

I appreciate you for trying the troubleshooting steps I shared, marie20.

Since the same issue persists, I'd suggest getting in touch with our phone experts so we can create an investigation into this matter. 

Here's how to contact our representatives:

1. From the Help menu, select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
2. Click Contact Us.
3. You can enter, Missing some employee's name on the Deferred Compensation report as your keywords.
4. Click Continue.
5. Continue with the on-screen instructions to contact the team successfully.
