Starting new QB Company from existing Company from 2019 forward

Bella14 · ‎March 23, 2020

I want to start a fresh copy of my quickbooks company. I only want transactions from 1/1/2019 forward. I've tried the condense utility, but it leaves all my payroll data because I use a payroll subscription and direct deposit. Whenever I try to delete those paychecks, I get "You cannot delete a transaction that affects payroll taxes handled by the Payroll Service". I just want a clean copy starting 1/1/19. I'm willing to pay for a 3rd party utility if one exists.

Try deleting the payroll subscription from the new company before condensing. When you create a copy you are creating a copy with payroll activated, is my guess. You should be changing the name of the company when you make a copy to differentiate it. Once it has been condensed reactivate payroll on that file
