Do you have to enter a tax id number in the vendor settings to pay vendors with direct deposit?

Hello @jenhcarter60.

Awesome to have you in the Community. I can assist you with all the information you need by setting up a vendor for direct deposit in QuickBooks.

Let's get you started by following the few simple steps below.

1. Select Vendor on the toolbar.
2. Choose Pay Bills.
3. Check the vendor you want to pay.
4. In the Payment section, Method dropdown list, select Direct Deposit.
5. Go back to the Payment section then Account dropdown list. Choose the correct account for the payment.
6. Double-check the date in the Payment section.
7. Pick Pay Selected Bills.
8. Then click Send Direct Deposit.
9. The last step,  Send.

All the information that you need to set up Direct Deposit for a vendor is listed above, a tax ID is not required.

Yes, you would need to enter the Vendor's tax ID number in its profile.

So, which is it Intuit?  Is a Tax ID required or is it not required?  Can't be both.

Thanks for the clarification, @BigRedConsulting.

Rest assured, my colleague will update their post once we verify it on our end.
