I just ran my payroll and it wants me to print checks for my direct deposit. How do I fix it?

You can check the employee's payment method to confirm the direct deposit setup, Sahack.

When setting up an employee's profile in QuickBooks Online, you can choose either Direct Deposit or Paper check. Update the payment method to Direct Deposit to ensure secure and timely payments are made directly to their bank account.

Here's how:

1. Hover over to My apps, then select Payroll and click on Employees.
2. Choose your employee.
3. From the employee's profile, scroll down and click Edit under Payment method.
   
   
   
   
4. Choose Direct Deposit from the Payment method dropdown.

Once done, you can void the paycheck if you've created it with a paper check. Then, create a new one for direct deposit.

Please note that direct deposit transactions need a specific processing lead time. If Payroll is not submitted within the required timeframe, QuickBooks Online will default to printing physical checks as a backup. It's essential to meet direct deposit deadlines to avoid disruptions.
