How do i change a contractor to an employee

Changing your contactor into an employee is an easy step, @karrington.

You'll want to deactivate the contractor first before the transition to an employee. Here's how:

1. Sign in to your QuickBooks Online (QBO) account.
2. Click Payroll from the left menu, then select Contractors.
3. Find and select the contractor you want to change.
4. Under the name of the contractor, click the drop-down beside Active and choose Mark as inactive.
5. Then, add him/her as an employee in QBO.

I'm adding this article for more guidance: Change Employee To Contractor Or Contractor To Employee.
