Welcome to the Community, colleen-centrale.

 

I'd like to help and make sure to set up your employees for direct deposit.

 

After you set up the company payroll for direct deposit, next steps will be the authorization form. You'll need to print it and let your employee fill out, sign, and date the direct deposit authorization form. You also need to attach a voided check from the employee's bank account (not a deposit slip).

 

To get the authorization form:

 

  1. Go to Taxes and select Payroll Tax.
  2. Choose Employee Setup.
  3. When you reach Authorization for Direct Deposit, select Bank Verification.
  4. Click on View and print.

 

Once done, you can add direct deposit to your employees. Let me show you how to do it.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Payroll menu, then choose Employees.
  2. Select the employee's name.
  3. Tap the Edit ✎ icon next to Pay.
  4. Under How do you want to pay this employee? select how the employee wants to receive their pay.  (Splits can only be done as a dollar amount, not as a percentage.):
  • Direct deposit
  • Direct deposit to two accounts
  • Direct deposit with balance as a check

  5. Put the routing and account numbers from the employee's voided check and select Done.

 

I've also added this article just in case you want to set up and manage direct deposit for contractors.

 

Get back to me if you still have other questions about payroll. I'm always here to help. Have a great week!
