I'm following the directions in this link, to try and set up payroll accounting for contributions and company match for our 401k and Roth 401k plan. When I follow these directions, I go to Payroll, then Employees, then I select one of our employees. From the employee's page I click on [Edit] in the Deductions&Contributions area, then [+Add Deduction/Contribution] On this screen there is NOTHING that applies to Retirement accounts or other deductions.
The options I see in this dropdown are:
* Health Insurance (company paid)
* Cash Advance Repayment
* Error
* Reported Cash Tips (offset)
* Direct Deposit Offset
The "Error" here makes me deeply suspicious... is this where the Retirement plans section/info should be??? And if so, how do I go about fixing this?

If you don't have the options shown in the screenshot above, I suggest clearing your browser's cache or try logging in to your QuickBooks using a private browser or an incognito window. Here's how to clear cache and cookies to fix issues when using QuickBooks Online. Restart your browser right after.

Thank you @MJoy_D for taking the time to so carefully and clearly repeat the exact same instructions that I said I had followed already - I suppose it never hurts to try the exact same thing for a 10th or 12th time! I think you'll find if you read my post carefully you will see that this is exactly the procedure I followed, although the clearing-cache and incognito-mode trick was at least worth a shot, although it did not help. I suppose that the "Error" that I see in the "types of supported deductions" dropdown is indeed an error, and I suppose I need to get someone from support to look at my specific issue? The entire list of account types I see in that drop down are in my initial post.
I know that this hasn't been easy for you, @tu_ultimate.
