I am trying to set up direct deposit for an employee. However, when I try to set it up our old business name and old business information is in all the required fields. I tried changing all the information to our current business name and information, but once I submit it to activate the direct deposit, I get the following error: "Something's not quite right. Try again later and it should work." I have tried activating it 10 times and I get the same error each time.

Thank you for laying out the details of your concern, @spcc. 

 

I appreciate your time and effort in trying to fix this error. I’ve got some troubleshooting steps you can perform to sort this out and continue setting up direct deposit for an employee in no time.

 

To begin with, ensure to have our QuickBooks Desktop updated to the latest release to keep your software up-to-date and have the latest features and fixes.

 

From there, we can now update your tax table by following the steps below: 

 

  1. Select Employees, then select Get Payroll Updates.
  2. Select the Download Entire Update checkbox.
  3. Select Download Latest Update. An informational window appears when the download is complete

 

If the issue persists, I suggest running the verify and rebuild data tool to identify and resolve the most commonly known data issues within your company file.

 

You can refer to this article to learn more about updating business information: Update your business name and address for QuickBooks Desktop Payroll.

 

For additional resources, these resources provide an overview of how to accomplish the following tasks in QuickBooks.

Thank you for replying. I have performed all the steps stated, but I am still getting the following error: "Something's not quite right. Try again later and it should work. " I already submitted information required for our business name change two years ago and I updated our company information on the QuickBooks desktop software then as well. This is the first time I am trying to set up direct deposit since the name change and I took over the bookkeeping. I have been just writing out paychecks.

When setting up the direct deposit it will not allow me to use our PO Box as the mailing address. It want's a physical address. Our PO Box is the address we use for the IRS, the State, QuickBooks and the bank. So, I added our physical address to the company profile. When I add our physical address to set up the direct deposit it does not recognize it. It is an office space that we rent. So, I am not sure if maybe that is the problem. But all fields still have our old business name and prior information in them. I have to go in and correct all fields.

Welcome back, @spcc. I appreciate you for doing all the necessary troubleshooting steps. 

 

When setting up a direct deposit, make sure you enter the following info:

  • Business name, address, and EIN
  • Principal officer's social security number, birth date, and home address
  • Online bank credentials or bank routing and account numbers
