Direct Deposit fees basic payroll

Great, thanks so much!

Have the fees increased?

I am running Quickbooks Enhanced Payroll for Accountants and I just ran two checks for my employer and the fee shows as $3.71.  It used to be $ 3.50.

Thank you

Jane

The place that I worked at charges everyone that has direct deposit $2.00 a week in order for them to send our money thru direct deposit.  That's $104.00 a year to work for them.  I don't think that is right, can anyone help me out with this and maybe trying to get my money back? thanks

Hi.  Depending on what state you work in, charging employees fees for using direct deposit may be illegal.  Check with your state's department of labor.  

I just upgraded to the 2022 Enterprise Version for desktop and I was told that I wouldn't be charged any additional fees for direct deposit. I just saw a charge for payroll services. Can you explain what this charge is for?

Great to see you in the Community, @acc22. I can share more details about the payroll service fees in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

There is no cost for Direct Deposit (DD) for W-2 employees with your Payroll subscription. However, you will pay for the payroll service plan you're using to run payroll, DD for contractors, and vendors.

To know more details about the additional fees, I recommend contacting our Customer Care Team. They have the tools to verify your account and look into the charges you've received.

Here's how to contact our Customer Care Team :

1. Log in to your QBDT company, go to Help, and select QuickBooks Desktop Help.
2. Select Contact Us and enter your concern, then select Continue.
3. Choose if you want to connect with them through messaging or callback.

You can also check their support hours to get assistance right away. 

To know more about the payroll plan prices, you can visit quickbooks.intuit.com. It contains FAQs and lists of features and services offered per payroll plan.

What place was that that charged 2.00 per pay for direct deposit?

Good day to you, @sonofcarl31.

Allow me to chime in and fill you in about direct deposit (DD) in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

The $2.00 you're referring to is the previous fee for each DD process for existing users of the previous payroll service.

If you subscribe to the new payroll offered by Intuit, there will be no charge for every DD transaction. However, they'll be an additional fee for each employee you'll add to your QBDT depending on your payroll subscription.

I've got you these articles that can help you learn more about payroll and DD in QBDT:

• Bundle payroll and bookkeeping.
• Payroll options for QuickBooks Desktop

Furthermore, I'm adding this resource that will help process DD for your employees: Set up direct deposit for employees.

I'll be around if you need more help managing your payroll or QBDT. Leave the details in your reply and I'll take care of them for you. Stay safe!

How do you know if you have the Payroll Enhanced version?  Is it the same as Intuit Quickbooks Payroll Annual Enhanced?  If, so I just spoke with someone from Quickbooks and they said it was $1.75 per DD, which is conflicting to the answer.  How can I find out how much it will cost to switch to DD.

Thank you for joining the thread, @DSB88.

QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) Payroll has four services: Basic, Standard, Enhanced or Assisted. You can go to the Company menu to view your services and subscriptions.

Here's how:

1. Go to the Company menu.
2. Click My Company.
3. Under Manage your apps, services & subscriptions, check your payroll services.

QuickBooks Desktop Pro Enhanced Payroll is a do-it-yourself option where you can process payroll and file taxes directly through QuickBooks. While on Assisted Payroll, someone will work on your payroll taxes and file returns for employees to keep them in compliance with a penalty-free guarantee.

Additionally, for existing QuickBooks Desktop Payroll users (with Enhanced Payroll for up to 3 employees or Unlimited Employees), there is a standard fee of $1.75 for every direct deposit transaction processed for employees and contractors. This old service doesn't have a per-employee usage fee billed on top of the monthly/annual subscription fee.

With the new payroll subscription, there's a fee of $2.00/active employees or contractors that only applies when you process checks in a given month period. I would also suggest reaching out to our sales team to check which plan is best for you. Please click here to view the price list.

I'll be sharing with you some articles that will guide you on how to set up Direct Deposit for contractors and vendors:
 

• Set up direct deposit
• Manage direct deposit for independent contractors in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll
• Paying Independent Contractors using Direct Deposit

Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll be happy to help you out. Have a great day ahead.

When did the direct deposit fee of 1.75 per employee rise to 4$ per employee?  So far this year, my fees are up 128% over last year!
