Hi esppetersen:

Just a question, have you completed your T4's for 2018? If you have, then you could simply enter in the year to date information for each employee for 2018 and move forward. To enter payroll for Jan 2019 simply go to the Maintenance menu and start a new calendar year, not a new fiscal year. At this point you could enter payroll for 2019. If I understand you correctly you have set up the fiscal year end to be January 31st 2019. That would be the reason why you cannot move forward past Jan 31, 2019. In order to move forward to the next fiscal year ending January 31st, 2020 you will need to go the Maintenance menu and simply start a new fiscal year. Ensure that you complete a backup of your data up to Jan. 31/19. From here you can enter into both fiscal years. Just make sure you date your transactions accordingly either for the 2019 year end or the 2020 year end.

I hope this helps! Let me know how you make out with this.
