Thanks for bringing this concern to me, userdilmurodd.

 

QuickBooks requires the official Employer Identification Number (EIN). Since having SS-4 is still in the process of applying for an EIN,  you'll need to wait until the IRS approves it.

 

Once done, you can visit these articles to proceed with setting up for direct deposit (Choose your type of subscription):

Thank you for reply, 

but the letter I have is from IRS with Employer ID, once it is been given to me, I received that letter.

Hi there, @userdilmurodd

 

Thanks for coming back to us. You'll want to attach the Tax ID verification letter from IRS to process direct deposit. However, we need the official verification of your EIN. 

 

Here's a quick link to help your resolve concerns with direct deposit in case you'll encounter one: Fix direct deposit issues. It contains answers to most of your DD questions. 

 

Feel free to post some more of your concerns. We're always glad to answer them all for you.

I have been asked for a business license, however, my city doesn't require us to have one. I also have a virtual business --from home. I have a CP 575 G notice from the IRS that says that my EIN number has been assigned to me and the letter serves as proof of my EIN. Can I submit this? I also have uploaded to my portal the status of my LLC just in case with my info on there as well.

I appreciate you for joining the thread, @Yellowjacket14.

 

Yes. As long as the letter contains the correct Employer Identification Number (EIN), you can use the details to set up and process a direct deposit for your employees. Aside from EIN, you can also take note of these requirements before getting started:

 

  • Business name and address
  • Principal officer social security number, birth date, and home address
  • Online bank credentials or bank routing and account numbers

 

I'm also adding these articles to learn more about direct deposit payroll:

 

 

Aside from direct deposit, you can also open the topics from this link for more hints about the common payroll topics in QuickBooks: Process payroll.
