Let me provide some information about changing employee's display name, chicagowalker.
In QuickBooks Desktop, we can enter the employee's name in the Legal Name and Print on Check As field. In this case, it would be best to consult your accountant on how to best handle this one since the information in the Legal Name field will reflect on their paychecks and payroll tax forms. To update an employee's info, just follow the steps below:
- Go to Employees on the top menu.
- Choose Employee Center.
- Double click the employee's name.
- Hit the Personal tab.
- Enter the employee name in the Legal Name and Print on Check As field.
- Press OK.
