4. Select Yes.

Please let me know if this is what you need. I will be here to assist further. Have a good day.

It was a payroll item that was created multiple times for the HSA the wrong way, i can delete from employees but can't delete from all items list. Thanks!

I just wanted to delete from the list because there are too many that are wrong and looks confusing. I'll contact them to delete them. Thank you!

Did they provide with you a solution or do I need to call in to have them do this as we added a few ones we no longer want on there.
