Using the recurring transaction feature in QBO to pay garnishments is not recommended, HB66. Let me share some other alternatives so you can pay your garnishments.
Utilizing QBO's recurring transaction feature for garnishment payments is not advisable as it only automates the recording of the transaction process without facilitating automatic payment to the garnishment agency. Instead, we recommend manually creating checks and printing them to ensure that the payments are accurately processed.
Here's how:
- Go to the + New button then choose Check.
- Choose whom did you pay from the Payee dropdown.
- Select your bank's name from the Bank Account dropdown.
- From the Category or Item Details section, fill out the provided details. Ensure to tick the Billable or Tax checkbox if needed.
- Click Save and Close or Save and New to exit.
You can also explore other third-party apps by going to the Apps menu, selecting Find apps, then search or click the Browse categories to see related apps that you can connect to your QBO account.
