Hi @jojo1410,

Thank you for your post.

For each listed employee, you will need to choose the applicable Income type ( Either -Salary and wages, Closely held payees, Working holiday maker, Seasonal worker program or Labour hire). If unsure, check with your accounting advisor or the ATO to see which one needs to be selected.

You can find the Income type in your employee's card > Payroll Details > Taxes > Income type. 

If you have any further queries, please reach out.

Why don't you provide that information within the payroll software rather than having users do this here in the forums? MYOB needs a very serious overhaul. Too much sugar coating on MYOB to even care!

Further to this - what should have been added is you will find this under the Taxes Tab, took me ages to find where this actually was to correct it.

What if you have this selected and yet it still has the error message come up?

I am getting this error for single touch payroll although I have already selected him as a salary employee.  Is there somewhere else I am supposed to report income type because it will not let me past this point

Hi @jennybiviano,

If you are receiving an 'Income type needed' error, you can find the Income type in your employee's card > Payroll Details > Taxes > Income type. 

If the appropriate type is selected there and you still have issues, can you please take a screenshot of the Taxes tab and attach it to your reply? Please remove sensitive employee details like their Tax File Number from screenshots posted publically.
