I can share additional information with updating accounts used with your federal taxes, @Misty27.

The option to move to another bank account is unavailable. You may consider creating a journal entry move money between accounts.

Here's how:

Go to the + New button and select Journal entry.
Enter your debit and credit accounts.
Click on Save and new or Save and close once you're done.

For more information about the debit and credit accounts that you can use, check out this article on how to create a journal entry in QuickBooks Online.

I also recommend consulting an accountant on what specific accounts to use to record the transaction to ensure the accuracy of your books. I've also attached some articles about tips and guides to reconcile an account:

My problem is not with the current bank account because that is correct, but the past payment was made to the wrong account in quick books and I need it to be in another account so it can match in bank feeds.
