Separate bank account for taxes and payroll

Thanks for posting your question here, tv0571. I'm happy to provide some clarity around the payroll bank account settings in QBO.

At this time, there is no option to use separate bank accounts for paying employees vs tax payments in QuickBooks Online Payroll. That's why you can only select one account in the Payroll Settings window.

I understand it would be beneficial for users to be able to assign distinct accounts for different payroll functions. You can submit this as a feature request to our product development team for consideration.

Here are instructions on how to send product feedback:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
2. Type in your suggestion and click Next.

Although, you can always update the company settings to change the payroll bank account if needed. Here are details on how to do that: Change Your Payroll Bank Account. 

Additionally, here are a couple of articles with guidance for getting started with QBO Payroll after transitioning from QuickBooks Desktop:

Please feel free to visit us again if any other questions come up when paying your employees, tv0571. I'd be glad to explain the functionality around payroll processes in QBO.
