How do I change the bank account a payroll check was applied to?

Welcome to the Community, @toddwrecker. Allow me to share some details about changing bank account for payroll check.

 

For existing checks, you’ll have to edit the affected bank account. Then, delete and recreate the paychecks after updating the payroll settings.

 

Here’s how to change your bank account with payroll service:

  1. Select Settings then Payroll Settings.
  2. Look for the section titled Bank Accounts.
  3. In the section titled Bank Accounts, select Edit ✎.
  4. Select Update.
  5. Select Add new bank account.
  6. If you bank with one of the 8 banks listed, select the bank and enter your online banking user ID and password. Otherwise, search your bank name or select Enter bank info manually. Enter your routing and account number, then select Save.
  7. Select Accept and Submit.

Here's how to complete the process of changing the bank account:

  1. Complete the QuickBooks Bank Account Change form. This form will open in Adobe Reader. Make sure to complete the entire form and have the officer of the company sign it.
  2. Upload your completed bank account change form. Your request should be completed same day if you send it to us by 3:00 PM PT. Any requests sent after, are processed the next business day.

You can also check this article for further guidance about the process.

 

Loop me in if you have other concerns, I'd be glad to assist you. Take care!

Is the only way to change a manual payroll check's paid from a Bank to delete it then manually re-enter each one? We are new users to payroll and didn't map the bank account account and it recorded it all to Cash (Petty Cash) account. It's corrected now, but need help fixing the first payroll run!

I'd like to welcome you here in the Community, WendyJA.

 

There are a lot to learn when starting out in QuickBooks. Please know that we're unable to edit paychecks once they're submitted, processed, or printed. To change the bank, you'll need to delete the transactions and recreate them.

 

Follow these steps on how to delete them:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu, then select Employees.
  2. Click Paycheck list.
  3. Select the paycheck(s) you'd like to delete, then click on each one of them to open the transaction.
  4. Click the drop-down list for Make adjustment, then select Delete.
  5. Confirm that you want to delete the transactions by selecting Yes
