Payroll set up

Thanks for reaching out, Ivy. Setting up payroll in QuickBooks Online (QBO) can be tricky, but I can provide you with the necessary information when doing the process to ensure efficiency. 

To better assist you, could you provide more details on the things you've done to set up your payroll? Did you encounter any error messages or steps you're stuck on? Where exactly in the setup process are you having trouble with? Understanding your exact situation will help me provide more targeted assistance.

In general, you need to log in to your QuickBooks account as the primary admin. Then, navigate to the Payroll section and follow the instructions to start with the setup. 

If you're unable to add new employees, make sure that you've filled out all mandatory fields such as name, address, hire date, and tax information. Review any missing information and complete those sections with the appropriate details. Ensure also that your payroll tax settings match federal, state, and local requirements to avoid incorrect tax calculations.

If you're stuck with setting up direct deposit for your employees, check the bank account information for accuracy. Review if there are any verification requirements set by your bank so you can proceed with setting up your payroll. 

If the issue you're facing doesn't align with the scenarios mentioned, please provide more specific details about it.
