No Principal Officer

We need the social security number when setting up the principal officer's information, BrooklineNH.

This is one of the requirements if you connect your bank account to pay your employees or taxes electronically. 

I'd suggest reaching out to our payroll support. They might have a way to bypass the requirement. Here's how:

1. Click Help inside QuickBooks Online.
2. Select Contact Us.
3. Enter "Set up direct deposit" in the description field, then click Let's talk.
4. Select either Start messaging or Get a callback.

Also, let me share the references about direct deposit to help you:

• Set up your company payroll for direct deposit
• Set up direct deposit for employees

Feel free to reach out to us if you have other direct deposit concerns. We're right here to help you.

Thank you for the reply Kristine.  We have reached out several times to your support and they do not seem to be able to bypass the requirement, which is why we asked the question publicly, hoping someone had found a work around.  We have used quickbooks for years, including direct deposit and never had to provide a SS#.  We simply do not have one to provide.
