Hi there, @table121.
We understand your concern regarding the recent increase in the direct deposit fee from $1.75 to $4 per employee, and I'm here to provide information on this matter.
Starting January 8, 2024, the fee for each direct deposit processed through Desktop Payroll will rise to $4. This adjustment in pricing is driven by factors like rising operational costs, technology investments, regulatory changes, and market dynamics.
While we endeavor to maintain competitive pricing, adjustments are occasionally necessary to ensure ongoing service quality. For additional info, you can check this resource: Changes to QuickBooks Desktop Payroll direct deposit fee.
