Does anybody use 2 different banks for payroll?

We have one EIN number but we have a school and a church that need to be paid. We'd like to pay each of them and their taxes out of their corresponding accounts. Is there a way to do this?

Does anybody use 2 different banks for payroll?

I see the importance of being able to use different banks for payroll. 

 

As of now, using two different banks for payroll is currently unavailable. This is because you can only use one bank account as you create paychecks and send tax payments in QuickBooks Online. Also, using one bank account for payroll allows you to have accurate data when recording payroll. 

 

If you want to change your bank account, you'll need to change it manually through your payroll settings. 

 

Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon located at the upper right corner and choose the Payroll settings
  2. Scroll down and find the Bank Accounts section. 
  3. Click the Pencil icon for you to edit. 
  4. Press Update
  5. Click the Add new bank account.
  6. Search for your bank name. You'll be asked either to enter your online banking user ID and password or enter your bank information manually. 
  7. Press Save.
  8. Once everything is done, click Accept and Submit

I'm always here to assist if there's anything else you'd like to ask regarding the bank account for payroll. Just let me know, and I'll be happy to help.
