You should see a test deposit amount in your account within 2-3 banking days after you set up your bank in QuickBooks Online Payroll, Lisa. I'll provide details on how to access this information so you can verify your account and activate direct deposit or e-pay and e-file services.
We run a test deposit of less than $1.00 when you link your account to ensure we can process your direct deposits or tax payments. To determine the exact amount, I recommend reviewing your bank statement or reaching out to your financial institution.
After obtaining the test deposit amount, log in to QuickBooks Payroll as a Primary admin or Master admin and then enter it without the decimal point.
For the step-by-step guide, please see Step 2 (QuickBooks Online Payroll section) in this article: Verify your bank account for payroll.
Once everything is all set, go ahead and set up direct deposit for your employees and contractors to seamlessly run your payroll.
I'm just a reply away if you need further assistance setting up your bank account for payroll and managing your employees. Wishing you and your business continued success.
