Hello, idf_8c4e6f40-062.

I'll hop on to this thread and help you reactivate your contractor in QuickBooks. 

I see that you're using the standalone payroll service. You were actually on the right page to reactivate your contractors. All you need to do is to set your view to Inactive or All. I'll show the steps below: 

1. Go to the Contractors page. 
2. Select Inactive or All from the drop-down menu beside the search box.
3. Select your inactive contractor (indicated with a (deleted) tag beside their names). 
4. On their profile, set the drop-down menu to Mark as active (located under their name).

When you've reactivated your contractor, you can start paying them in QuickBooks. 

Need to check your liabilities and payroll amounts from reports? Your plans has a variety of payrolls reports you can run. Check out this article if you need help running one: Run payroll reports

If you'd like to do other payroll tasks like managing your employees, please let me know. I'm still with you in every step of the way.
