separate accounts to pay taxes and payroll

Let me join you here and swiftly address your payroll-related inquery, cellosister.

For now, we can only use one bank account when creating paychecks and sending tax payments in QuickBooks Online. Although, you can switch back and forth between banks after the pending transactions have been completed.

Refer to this article for detailed instructions: Change Your Payroll Bank Account.

I can totally see the advantages of having this feature in QBO. You can send feedback about having the option to use multiple bank accounts when running payroll in the program. Here's how to do it inside your account: 

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
2. Type in your feedback and suggestions about being able to use a different bank account for tax payments in QBO.
3. Click Next to submit them.

I appreciate the clear and concise answer, thank you. That being said, yes, it's a massive inconvenience to have to switch back and forth between accounts manually, and this also interferes with the efficient system I've implemented managing my accounts outside of QBO. I will submit feedback, though i understand it's unlikely to initiate any systemic changes within the software. 

We are facing the same challenge.

Thank you for following up on this thread, Mokelah.
