I'm trying to set up paycheck direct deposit on QB desktop for a non profit and it asks me for an OWNER - there IS no owner of the company since it's non profit- how do I get past that?

Financial institutions require personal info from those authorized to manage the organization's bank account for compliance reasons, @Susu1. I'd be glad to go into details to help you navigate this.

Since establishing a direct deposit for a non-profit requires accurate info, with appropriate consent, consider utilizing the details of another authorized individual within your organization.

I also recommend reaching out to our dedicated Support team regarding your situation. They can provide insights on whether there’s a way to bypass the personal information requirement for non-profits and may have specific guidance tailored to organizations like yours.

I understand the importance of setting up direct deposit for your non-profit organization, @Susu1. Let's make sure you can bypass the prompt for an owner while configuring direct deposit in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

To start, when setting up direct deposit for a non-profit, the Owner field is your bank account being set up for direct deposit, with the Principal Officer identified as the account's owner. Also, email communications regarding direct deposits will be sent to the Primpary Admin on file. However, the ID Verification email and the Verify Bank Account emails will be sent to both the Principal Officer (Bank Owner) and the Primary Admin. For guidance on which name to use on your bank account, I suggest consulting your accountant.

If you have any concerns about the setting up direct deposit for non-profit, please tag me in the comment section, @Susu1. I'll assist you in any way possible.

I tried again and it wants the principal officer's personal information - including social security number. That's not ok with any board member. How can I work around this?

@Susu1 Considering the increased focus on ferreting out money laundering, I doubt there is a legal way around it.

That said, I do have to wonder if any of your board members are set up as employees within your nonprofit.

If they are, I hate to break it to them, but QuickBooks already has their social security numbers and likely a fair bit of other personal information. Using said person for the principal officer won't spill any more milk than already has been.

None of the board members are employees
