Can we set up payroll with a personal bank account? We do not have a business bank account.

Hello, @BD27.

Thank you for posting here in the Community. Let me assist you with your payroll concern in QuickBooks Online.

When setting up and starting using your new Payroll for QuickBooks Online, it only needs the company bank account for direct deposit. That said, linking the personal account isn't recommended.

Nevertheless, if you're paying yourself as an employee from the business account, you'll have to set up or enter your details on the Employee page. From there, you'll have the option to enter your bank details to receive your payroll salary. Let me show you how.

1. From the Payroll menu, select the Employees section.
2.  Click the Add employee button. You can select the employee's name and then choose the Edit Employee once you already entered the information.
3. Under How do you want to pay this employee? select the way the employee wants to receive their pay.
4. Choose Direct deposit and click +Enter bank info. Click the Direct deposit method and enter the bank details.
5. Hit Done.

 For more details, you can click this article: Set up an employee for direct deposit.

You can also invite your employees or yourself to see pay stubs and W-2s each time you run payroll. You can click this article to see additional information and detailed steps: Invite your employees to QuickBooks Workforce to see pay stubs, W-2s and more.

Keep in touch if you need any more assistance with this, or there's something else I can do for you. I've got your back. Have a good day.
