Thanks for getting involved with this thread, swdiete.
If you're referring to the steps shared by Kurt_M for splitting direct deposits into two different accounts, you can do so in QuickBooks Desktop Payroll as well, but your steps will be a bit different.
Here's how to split an employees direct deposit into two accounts:
- Have the employee fill out, sign, and date a direct deposit authorization form and attach a voided check from their bank account(s).
- Confirm their account is a checking or savings account. QuickBooks only works with these types of accounts.
- In your top menu bar, go to Employees, then Employee Center.
- Find the employee and access their profile.
- Open your Payroll Info tab, then click Direct Deposit.
- In the Direct Deposit window, hit Use Direct Deposit for [employee's name] and choose whether to deposit their paycheck into one or two accounts.
- Enter your employee's financial institution details (Bank Name, Routing No., Account No., and Account Type).
- If you chose to deposit to two accounts, enter the amount or percentage that your employee wants to deposit to the first account in your Amount to Deposit field. The remainder goes to their second account.
- Select OK and enter your direct deposit PIN when prompted.
I've also included a detailed resource about working with payroll which may come in handy moving forward: Set up direct deposit for employees
I'll be here to help if there's any additional questions. Have an awesome Wednesday!
