How do I activate and use direct deposit in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll?

Good day, @fdsfefse.

I can share the steps on how to activate and use Direct Deposit (DD) in your QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

Before you can acitivate and use DD, you’ll need to set up your company's payroll bank account first. This will only take 1 to 3 business days. Once done, you can use this account to pay your employees and payroll taxes in QBDT.

Here's how to activate DD:

1. In QBDT, go to the Employees menu at the top.
2. Select My Payroll Services.
3. Choose Activate Direct Deposit
4. In the Verify Your Company Information section, click the Edit option and update all the required fields.
5. Click the View Agreement link.
6. Select the  I have read and agree to the terms of service agreement checkbox.
7. In the Check Security Limits section, answer the questions provided.
8. Click Submit.

After signing up, Intuit makes two small withdrawals of less than $1.00 each from the bank account you set up. You'll need to check your bank account for the amount and confirm it in QBDT.
