Troubleshooting Solutions:
If your QuickBooks Payroll Direct Deposit isn’t working, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:
- **Check Internet Connection:**Ensure you have a stable internet connection. A weak or intermittent connection can disrupt the payroll submission process. Restart your router or switch to a different network if needed.
- **Verify Payroll Subscription:**Make sure your QuickBooks Payroll subscription is active. Go to “Employees” > “My Payroll Service” > “Account/Billing Information” to confirm your subscription status. If expired, renew it to continue using direct deposit services.
- **Correct Payroll Information:**Double-check that all employee details, such as bank account numbers and routing numbers, are accurate. Go to “Employees” > “Employee Center,” select the employee, and review their banking information.
- **Update QuickBooks:**Ensure your QuickBooks software is up to date. Updates often include fixes for common issues. To update, go to “Help” > “Update QuickBooks Desktop,” then click “Update Now.”
- **Review Direct Deposit Limits:**Verify that you haven’t exceeded your direct deposit limits. This can happen if the payroll amount exceeds the maximum allowed. Contact QuickBooks support to confirm your limit.
- **Check Pay Date and Time:**Ensure the payroll is submitted at least two banking days before the pay date and before the cutoff time (usually 5:00 PM PT) to ensure timely deposits.
- **Review Payroll Service Key:**Ensure the payroll service key is active and correct. Go to “Employees” > “My Payroll Service” > “Manage Service Key” to verify.
- **Contact QuickBooks Support:**If the issue persists, contact QuickBooks Payroll Support for assistance. They can provide further troubleshooting specific to your account and setup.
