I just set up 1099's as vendors. I went to the additional info tab in the employee record and there is no direct deposit from the drop down menu. There's only a vendor type drop down. I must be missing a step. Can you help?

You need to set up your company for direct deposit, 2325gilf.

 

The first step you need to take is to connect your bank account. Make sure to open QuickBooks and sign in with the QuickBooks admin username and password.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to Employees, and My Payroll Service, then Activate Direct Deposit.
  2. Select Get Started
  3. Click Start on the Business tab and fill in the info, then Next.
  4. Fill in the Principal officer info, then Next.
  5. Click  Add new bank account.
  6. Enter the name of your bank and then enter your online bank credentials or if prompted, your bank routing and account numbers.
  7. Create a PIN. You’ll use this when sending your payroll to us each time. Confirm your PIN twice, then select Submit.
  8. Select Next, then Accept and Submit.
  9. If prompted, confirm the Principal officer’s full social security number, click Submit.

 

Next, verify and check your bank account in 2 business days for a small debit amount of less than $1 from Intuit QuickBooks Payroll.

 

  1. Once you see the amount, open QuickBooks and sign in as the QuickBooks Admin.
  2. Select Employees, and My Payroll Service, then select Activate Direct Deposit.
  3. Sign in to your Intuit Account.
  4. Enter the debit amount twice, then select Verify.
  5. Enter your payroll PIN. Select Submit, then Ok.

 

Lastly, you can set up the contractor's direct deposit. Check out this article as a guide: Set up and manage direct deposit for your contractors. Then, choose QuickBooks Desktop Payroll Basic, Standard, and Enhanced.

 

You can then pay vendors via direct deposit. I'm adding these articles to guide you through the process.

 

 

Get back to me if you have additional questions about setting up direct deposit. I'm always glad to help you.

I set up direct deposit under the employee's menu. Under the vendor name I chose additional info and there is no drop down for direct deposit. I ran the updates after the dd was activated. Still now direct deposit under add'l info.

Welcome back, @2325gilf.

 

I appreciate updating your QuickBooks Desktop to fix the issue. Let's perform other troubleshooting steps to show the Direct Deposit option in the Additional Info tab.

 

One of the possible reasons why some options in QuickBooks Desktop are missing is due to data damage to your company file. To get this resolved, let's run the Verify and Rebuild Utility tools. This will help fix data damage on your company file. Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the File menu, then select Utilities.
  2. Click Verify Data and select OK to close all windows.
  3. Then, go back to the File menu.
  4. Select Rebuild Data under Utilities.
  5. QuickBooks will ask you to make a backup before rebuilding your company file, select OK.
  6. Once the rebuild is done, click OK.

 

After the steps, go back and verify if the Direct Deposit option is showing. If the issue persists, feel free to check out this article for more troubleshooting steps: Fix data damage on your QuickBooks Desktop company file.

 

Once you're able to set up direct deposit for your vendors, you can now pay them through direct deposit.
