We bulk pay 2 employees using ACH from the bank we link to QBO. The total cannot be split between both employees, only one. How can I split with only one total?

Hi there, laura-pinnell.

You'll need to record paychecks within QuickBooks Online so taxes will be withdrawn correctly. From there, we can match the lumpsum payment to each payroll check. Let's ensure that the net pay of the employees is the same as the deducted amount in your actual bank. 

Once you have submitted payroll, you can follow these steps on how to match them on your Banking page.

1. Go to the Transactions or Banking menu and select Banking.
2. Click the bank and select the payroll expense amount.
3. Select the Find match option.
4. Change the dates and make sure that the paycheck dates are within the date range you set.
5. Select the 2 Payroll Checks from the list.
6. Review the Total and the Difference should be zero. 
7. Click Save.

I'm just here if there's anything else that you need help with. You take care and have a great day!
