Ira payments to brokerage

I've spent hours looking for an answer to what should be a simple procedure. I use Desktop Pro Plus and Enhanced Payroll. My company has set up an IRA program with 3% company matching. I have set it up in payroll and it seems to work as expected. I have to pay the IRA money to the brokerage and here is where my problem comes in. The Employee Contribution for all employees goes into the payroll account "Simple IRA Emp". Same with the "Simple IRA Co. Match" account.  When I go to the Pay Liabilities in the Employee Center it wants to pay the entire amount in one check. The brokerage wants individual checks for each employee with their account numbers in the memo. How do I handle writing multiple checks and also clearing the liability?

Hithere, BillInDanville.

 

By default, QuickBooks Desktop combines the entire amount into one liability check. Currently, the option to pay IRA by individual employee check is unavailable in the program. As a workaround, you'll want to visit our QuickBooks App Market to find a third-party app that best suits your business needs.

 

Keep me posted if you have any other concerns or additional questions. Have a good one.
