I'm here to help you set up direct deposit for your contractors, @paramounteecs.
QuickBooks does not automatically gather bank account information from contractors for direct deposits. As the employer or business owner, you are responsible for collecting the necessary bank account information from your contractors if you intend to set up direct deposit payments for them.
When setting up direct deposit for contractors in QuickBooks, you will need to obtain their bank account details, such as the account number and routing number, and input this information into QuickBooks to facilitate direct deposit payments to the contractors.
Furthermore, you'll need to have a company bank account connected to use direct deposit. If you haven't done so, set up your company payroll for direct deposit your contractor's direct deposit info.
Then, add your contractor's bank account info:
- Go to Payroll and then click Contractors.
- For a new contractor, select Add a contractor or select the existing contractor to add or edit bank info.
- Select Bank account.
- As prompted, enter the following:
- Account Number
- Account Type
- Routing Number
- Account holder Phone Number
- Account holder Full Name
- Click Save.
