I can't get the "Pay Taxes and Other Liabilities to register anything since I changed the account (bank account changed). It only shows the old payments. How do I get it to include the new bank account that payroll is being written from?

Hi there david,

I'm here to guide you on how to update your bank account for payroll. To do so, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to Edit at the top menu bar.
  2. Select Preferences.
  3. Click Checking on the left panel.
  4. Under the Company Preferences tab, go to the SELECT DEFAULT ACCOUNTS TO USE section.
  5. Click the drop down for Open the Pay Payroll Liabilities, select the correct bank account.
  6. Click OK.

To track your previous payroll liabilities to the correct back account, you'll have to go to the register and update them manually. Here's how:

  1. Go to Employees at the top menu bar.
  2. Select Employee Center.
  3. Click the Transactions tab, and select Liability Checks.
  4. Double-click on the bank account. 
  5. Another window will open, and manually change the bank account to the current account.
  6. Click Save & Close.  
  7. If you want to save the changes for the transaction, then click Yes.

These steps will input your payroll liabilities to the correct account.
