There is a reference period used by the IRS to determine your tax due dates. For 2020, the lookback period is July 1, 2018 - June 30, 2019. You'll need to review your paychecks within that period to check if you've already accrued $100,000, or more, in federal tax liability. This may be the reason why QuickBooks prompts you with the Next-day deposit rule.
Please refer to this article for more details: Payroll 101.
Please let me know if you have additional concerns. I’m here to provide answers. Take care!
It's a little confusing. The semi-weekly deposit schedule is actually twice per week, not once every two weeks. Basically, it means you have to deposit the taxes within a few days of payroll. If you had a payroll every day for some reason, you'd deposit 2x per week, but most people don't and so the schedule amounts to paying within a few days after each payroll.

From that linked page:
Semi-weekly Depositor
Under the semiweekly deposit schedule, deposit employment taxes for payments made on Wednesday, Thursday, and/or Friday by the following Wednesday. Deposit taxes for payments made on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and/or Tuesday by the following Friday. Report your deposits quarterly or annually only by filing Form 941 or Form 944.
