need mailing address on paychecks, not physical address

Last year, I happily learned that we could now add a mailing address to an employee's profile (since we previously used a workaround to enter a PO Box). If I have entered both addresses (physical and mailing), why would I want the physical address to print on the paycheck? When I need to mail a paycheck to an ex-employee, I currently need to insert it into a larger envelope and hand-address.

 

Is there a way to print the "mailing address" on the paychecks, aside from copying all my 100+ employees' mailing addresses and pasting them into the physical address slot (each time using the "PO Box workaround")?

 

One step forward, 2 steps back...not everyone in the country has street delivery of mail!! We have been the wealthiest county (not me!) in the country and we don't have it!

Hello there, WYO.
 

I understand how challenging it can be to manage extra steps, especially with a large number of employees, when mailing paychecks to ex-employees. Let me help you clarify this.
 

Physical addresses appear on paychecks because they are linked to payroll records, tax calculations, and W-2 forms. These ensures compliance with government regulations and audit requirements. Mailing addresses are intended for correspondence and do not fulfill residency requirements often needed for payroll and tax filings.
 

Currently, QuickBooks Online does not have an option to automatically print the mailing address on paychecks instead of the physical address. The workaround you mentioned, manually entering mailing addresses in the physical address field, is the only option available right now.
