Can QBO Automatically pay Child Support payments like it does for taxes?

Thanks for reaching out, @ProfessionalChoiceSolutions.

This is a great question, and I wish I had a perfect solution for you.  At this time, you can set up the wage garnishment within QuickBooks Online, but the direct deposit cannot be automated.  This may be something we see in future improvements within the product, and I highly suggest you reach out to our development team to share your thoughts and needs for our product.

You can do that here: QuickBooks Online Feedback.

Please let me know if I can assist with anything else, and have a great weekend.

has this feature been added to QuickBooks online?

Thank you for joining this thread, CraigA1cpa.

We can see that many customers, like you, want to incorporate the automatic option to pay garnishments utilizing the online software. It saves time and improves your working experience. Let me shed some light on your concern.

At this time, the function to automatically pay child support using QuickBooks Online (QBO) Payroll is unavailable. We incorporate our customers' thoughts and ideas when improving existing features and adding new ones.

I still advise sending feedback about the inclusion of an automated payment garnishment feature directly to our engineers. This way, they can review your suggestion and consider it for future releases. 

Here's how:

1. Go to the Gear icon in the upper right and choose Feedback.

Reach out to me again if you have other payroll questions or concerns about QuickBooks. I'll get back to assist you further. 

Could Quickbooks kindly consider updating this feature? I made the switch from Gusto to QBO, but I'm starting to regret it due to the lack of integration for garnishment auto payments, remote worker setup, automatic workers comp payment, and automatic retirement payments. It surprises me that other online payroll companies offer all these features at lower costs, while Quickbooks doesn't even provide them for their customers.

I strongly urge QuickBooks to take this feedback into account and enhance its capabilities to stay competitive in the payroll market. It's been years since the request for these features, and I'm genuinely surprised that they haven't been implemented yet.

I am currently sitting on hold with QB online help - he was unsure if this is something they can do. I cannot believe I pay ~$1,400 a year for a service that cannot do this simple ACH for child support payments. Has anyone had better experience with a software company that can do these basic tasks? Willing to switch at this point.  

I am currently sitting on hold with QB online help regarding this exact issue - he confirmed, in the year of our lord 2024, it is still something QBO cannot do.
