I switched from handwritten checks to direct deposit today for our payroll. How do I make sure the direct deposits went through

Hi there, freedomservice. Let me share details on how you can review your employees direct deposit status in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

If you have already set up direct deposit for your employees and you have sufficient funds in your company's bank account, then it will go through.

Furthermore, after running your employees' payrolls, you can view their direct deposit statuses by navigating to the Paycheck list.

1. Go to the Payroll menu and pick the Employees tab.
2. Select your employee.
3. From the Paycheck list tab, view your direct deposit status in the Status section. Here are the terms used and their system definitions:

• Scheduled: we have everything we need to send this check to the bank and pay this employee.
• Processed: we already sent this employee’s paycheck info to the bank, and the employee will be paid by the end of the day.
• Returned: there is a problem with your employee’s bank account and, you couldn’t pay them via direct deposit.
• Canceled: Direct Deposit was not included for this specific paycheck.
• If you see no status displayed, it means that a paper check was issued.
