Hi Ethal from Intuit,
You seem unaware this worked fine in QBDT until the 2019 or 2020 version of QBDT, at which point Intuit broke it. It's been three years now with multiple complaints, including from accountant users like myself who may have to deal with this in dozens of client files...
The way around it is to click the "I'll import it myself" option when bringing in IIF files, and ignore whatever dire warning QBDT throws onto the screen. That WILL bring in the transactions without erroneously assigning check numbers to direct deposits and tax payments.
And the way for Intuit's engineers to fix it, is to assign "DD" to the check reference field for direct deposit payroll entries when creating the IIF file, and "ACH" to the tax payments. Pretty easy-peasy so I really wonder why they haven't done that yet.
