I have an employee who quit. How do I update his status in Quickbooks Online?

Thanks for bringing your question to the Community, SarahCO. I understand that letting an employee go can be challenging.

Allow me to guide you through the process of updating an employee's status in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

Follow these step-by-step instructions on how to mark the employee as no longer part of your payroll:

1. Go to the Payroll menu and proceed to the Employees tab.
2. Click the name of the employee. 
3. Scroll down to the Employment details section and click Edit.
4. Click the drop-down list for Status ▼ and select Terminated or  Not On Payroll if you lay off or furlough an employee.
5. Select Save.

Here's an article about this process for more details: Terminate Or Change Your Employee's Status On Payroll.
