I have an existing account & my employer sent a link to set up direct deposit, but when I got into my profile there was no prompt to set it up. The link has now expired.

Hello there, mcfarlane.

Since the link provided by your employer has expired and there was no prompt to set it up in your profile, I suggest contacting your employer and request to resend the invitation as initial approach to resolve the expired link you got. This ensures that you receive a valid link within the given timeframe and proceed with setting up direct deposit successfully.

Then, to ensure a smooth process, make sure you accept and set up the direct deposit within 24 hours before the link expires. For more details, check this article: Get direct deposits from your clients in QuickBooks Self-Employed.
