I can see that you've already activated the direct deposit in QuickBooks Desktop, udye6d.

 

For us to change the employer's bank account, there are a few things we need to prepare and do. Here are the following:

  1. Gather the employer's bank account information, principal officer's address, and the payroll PIN.

  2. Set up your bank account in your chart of accounts.

  3. Check for pending tax payments and payroll transactions (direct deposits or paychecks).

  4. Update your bank account with QuickBooks Desktop Payroll service.

  5. Verify your bank account.

  6. Change your default bank account in your preferences.

To see the detailed instructions of every steps, you can go to the QuickBooks Desktop Payroll section of this article: Change your payroll bank account.

 

Since you mentioned that you're unsuccessful in updating the details, did you somehow encounter an error message or code?  Additional information about this would be much appreciated. 

 

Once we have the details of the error, we can start our troubleshooting steps from there. Thank you in advance.

This has been the most frustration transaction I have ever had. I cannot get support through any means provided by Intuit. Per your instruction, there is not a cancel option in my account. What is a support email or telephone number to contact.

Is it possible during the trail period the bank account can't be changed?
