Good day, mikidzmimi24.
Helping you manage your payroll is my priority. Let's get started.

I do have a payroll subscription. But every time I try to use payroll functions I get this message:
Object Not Found: Something you're trying to use has been made inactive. Check the fields with accounts, customers, items, vendors, or employees.
I have been on the phone with 3 different people for way over an hour each time. No one seems to know how to fix this.
So I thought I would just try to set it up manually. Quickbook seems to be blocking all my attempts at working in payroll.
Any ideas?
Thanks for trying to help.
I can share why you're getting this error when using the payroll service, mikidzmimi24.
You need to check everything on your Chart of Accounts. An account use to track your payroll transactions is inactive, that's why you're getting this error.
You can review the payroll preferences and drill down the set up. Let me show you how:
Once done, go to your register and activate inactive accounts. Let me show you how:

Once all set, you can start running your payroll and pay taxes.
Let me know if you need anything else concerning payroll. I'll be around to help you.
If I add to the Chart of Accounts a new account named Payroll Expenses:FWH, would the Account Type be "Other Current Liabilities"?
I do have a subscription to Payroll. In the Chart of Accounts when I click on New, there is no "Payroll Expense" Detail Type option.
That should be there, correct?
Hello there, @mikidzmimi24.
When you add a new account (i.e., named Payroll Expenses:FWH) in your Chart of Accounts, the Payroll Expenses detail type option is under the Expenses account type. Selecting the right posting account for your payroll expenses is important in QuickBooks Online (QBO). With this, I'd recommend consulting your accountant. This way, you can keep your payroll and financial data accurate.
In the meantime, I'm adding this article to learn more about detail types for your chart of accounts: Learn about detail types in chart of accounts. It explains how is detail type different from account type and which of the two matters more.
