Hello, @jameshennessy3.

 

I'm here to share information about changing your employee's account number in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

 

There are two ways to do this, which are pretty quick and easy. The first one is by going to the employee's profile. Here's how:

 

  1. In QBO, go to the Payroll menu on the left pane.
  2. Proceed to the Employees tab.
  3. Select your employee.
  4. Click Edit on the Direct deposit info section.
  5. When finished, hit Save.

 

The second option is updating it while you run payroll. Here's how:

 

  1. On the Run payroll screen, select the employee's name.
  2. Click Edit on the Direct deposit info section.
  3. When finished, select Save.

 

For more information about managing or changing employees' information in QBO, check out these articles:

 

 

I also recommend visiting our website for more tips and other resources you can use in the future: Self-help articles.

 

I'm only a post away if you have additional questions about this or anything else QuickBooks. I'm always here to answer them. Keep safe.

Thanks for the response, but I was looking for how to change the accounting account number that the employee’s check amount is charged to-not banking info.

Appreciate the update, @jameshennessy3.

 

I'll make sure to change the bank account number used for your employees' payroll transactions in QuickBooks Online.

 

To get started, let's update the bank account information used where your employees' payroll transactions are charged. You can find this preference directly from your account's payroll settings. I'll show you how.

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon.
  2. Under Your Company, select Payroll Settings.
  3. On the Bank Accounts section, select Company.
  4. Review and change your bank account number.
  5. Click OK.

 

Once done changing your bank account information, let's review what are the accounts used for your payroll transactions and maybe change them using this reference: Change the Accounting Preferences in QuickBooks Online Payroll.

 

Lastly, I've got you this helpful article for ideas about how you can work well with your employees' payroll in QuickBooks: Create Paychecks in Online Payroll. You can also get an overview of the other payroll features used to save time in creating your paychecks and running your payroll.

 

If there's anything else that I can help you with aside from updating your payroll account information, please let me know in the comment section below. I'll be notified once you include my name, @JonpriL, in your follow-up reply. Take care always, @jameshennessy3!
