Currently, QuickBooks Online Advanced (QBO) does not support a built-in approval process for automatic payroll. However, I can guide you through an alternative method to achieve this, ljq0415.

 

You can integrate a third-party application that facilitates an approval process before executing auto payroll. Here are the steps to guide you through this setup:

 

  1. Go to the App menu on the left panel, then click Find apps.
  2. Type in a keyword to search
  3. Click Get app now

Additionally, learn how you want your payroll taxes and filing will be handled. I've added this handy resource for your reference: Pay and File Payroll Taxes and Forms Electronically in QuickBooks Online Payroll.
