Quickbooks wants me to verify my info with my bank to reconnect to it for downloading data.  The phone number that it wants to send the verification code to is not my number.  Bank says it is not them generating the contact info and all my contact info with Quickbooks and the bank is correct.

Hello there, @UASPITT. 

Let me help you in updating your information to ensure that you can receive codes in QuickBooks and proceed without any issues.

 

If you encounter Error 185, it means that your bank requires additional information from you after you enter your login credentials. This suggests that your financial institution has implemented extra security measures, such as a security question or a one-time passcode, that you need to provide to proceed.

 

For you to proceed and receive the code, you need to update your bank information in QuickBooks. Here's how you can do it:

 

1. Go to Transactions.

2. Click Bank Transactions.

3. Select the tile for the bank account. Then, select the Edit icon.

4. Select Edit sign-in info.

5. Update your information as needed.

 

You can refer to this article in case you encounter other banking error: What to do if you get a bank error or can't download transactions in QuickBooks Online.

I am trying to link our online payroll module to our new checking account. I can get into the payroll module, select the new account, and click save. The payroll module then wants to send a verification code to either of two phone numbers stored in the payroll module. Neither of these phone numbers is a valid number. 

The previous principal of the payroll module failed to assign a new principal when he left - about 4 years ago.

How should I proceed?

Thanks for joining the thread, Linda.

 

We can see the urgency of this matter, and we want to ensure we're providing the information you need to get through this and change your company's payroll bank account inside QuickBooks Online (QBO). If you still have contact with the previous principal officer, you'll want to ask them to transfer their access to the new primary officer so you can proceed and change the payroll bank account.

 

In case you don't have contact with the previous primary admin, we recommend sending a request to our account protection team to verify your information and set you up to be the new principal officer. For more details, you can check this page: Request to be the primary admin or contact.

 

Once it's done, proceed to change the payroll bank account inside the company file. We'd recommend checking this article for further guidelines: Change your payroll bank account.

 

In addition, you can check these articles to help you manage paychecks, add pay history, and ensure you data stays accurate inside the program:
