When preparing T4A slips, Quickbooks is pulling the data from priior year(s) rather than 2025 (the last completed calendar year). How to fix?

Hello there sixpicks. Let's figure out why your T4A slips are pulling from prior year(s) instead of 2025. This usually happens when there's a mismatch in your fiscal year settings or the system isn't recognizing 2025 data properly.

Here's what to check:

• Look for a year dropdown or selector near the top of the T4A screen (it might say Tax Year or just showing a specific year e.g. 2024). Click on it and see if you can manually select 2025 from the list.
• If 2025 isn't available as an option, confirm you've processed at least one payroll in 2025 with T4A-eligible payments (contractor payments, fees, commissions, etc.).
• Check if there are any draft or unfinished payrolls from 2025 that might be preventing the year from closing properly.
• Go to Payroll Settings then Company Settings and make sure your fiscal year start date is January 1. If it's set to a different month, that could be causing the issue.
• Run a Payroll Details report for January 1 to December 31, 2025, and confirm you see the T4A-eligible payments there.
