How do I run QB Desktop Payroll and use direct deposit from my bank

@1tilequeen  I doubt QB will specifically interact with your bank's direct deposit service.

Most likely, you'll run the direct deposits through your bank's service, whatever steps that entails.

Then, you'll return to QB and, in the No. field on each paycheck, enter the letters DD to indicate that those paychecks were direct deposited.

I understand how important it is to have a smooth payroll process, especially when transitioning to using your bank for direct deposits, @1tilequeen Rest assured, I’m here to provide my insights and support throughout this process.
 

First, make sure your bank information is correct. You’ll need your bank's ACH details, which include your company bank account, as well as each employee's direct deposit banking details like their account number and routing number.
 

When you run payroll, to the Print Checks screen, you don't need to print physical checks. Instead, look for an option to select Direct Deposit or choose Continue without printing to move forward with using your bank for direct deposits. Verify that each employee’s payroll settings are set for direct deposit instead of checks.

Remember to choose the Direct Deposit option in the payroll processing section. Make sure each employee’s payroll settings reflect that they’re set up for direct deposits rather than checks.
 

By following these steps, you can efficiently process payroll through your bank's direct deposit system using QuickBooks Desktop. This method not only saves time but also enhances the convenience for you and your employees. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.

"Because of the increase in cost for direct deposit through Intuit, I'm switching to direct deposits for payroll through my bank."
