Removal of Payroll Liabilities from employee deductions

Thank you for posting your concern here in the Community, Emaley.

I'm here to guide you on removing an unused payroll deduction item from your employees' paychecks.

To start, it's important to note that once a payroll item has been used, it can't be deleted in QuickBooks Online. However, if it's absolutely necessary to delete it, I recommend reaching out to payroll support for assistance with this matter.

In order to remove the deduction item from your employee's paycheck, follow these steps:

1. Go to Payroll, then select Employees.
2. Click Edit payroll items.
3. Choose Deductions & contributions to see your list of payroll items.
4. Select the employees you wish to unassign the payroll deduction item from by checking the box next to their names, and then click on Unassign.

After completing these steps, the deduction item should no longer be visible on your employees' paychecks.

Furthermore, I'd like to provide you with some helpful articles that will assist you in managing your pay types, deductions, and contributions all in one place, as well as guide you on managing your payroll reports for a closer look at your finances:

• Run payroll reports
• Manage your payroll items in QuickBooks Online Payroll

If you have any further questions about managing your payroll deduction item or any other queries, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm here and ready to help you out.
