Question

Verify your account - Payroll tax filing setup

I am trying to verify the bank account to complete the Payroll Tax online filing process.

 

The original deposit from QuickBooks online was .37 but it was on 11/18/2020.  When I client on Verify your account, it won't accept the amount.  I assume this is because it was about four years ago.  How do I resend the test deposit or bypass this? 

 

My bank account is connected to QuickBooks online and transactions are already automatically entered in QuickBooks from the bank feed, so bank is verified.  I just need to get passed this step when setting up to file payroll taxes electronically.

Hello @lparker3, it's great to have you back in the QuickBooks Community.

 

I'm here to assist you with the bank account verification process for payroll in QuickBooks Online (QBO) and guide you to the right support team as an alternative option.

 

It appears that the second verification for your payroll bank account has failed. To bypass this issue, you can temporarily enter a different bank account and verify it. After the verification, you can change the bank account back to the original one. Here are the steps you can follow: 

 

  1. In your QBO company, change your payroll bank account with a new one.
  2. Go to Payroll, then Overview.
  3. From your To Do List, select Let's Go on Check your bank account item.
  4. Select Verify Amount.
  5. Enter and confirm the transaction amount (no decimal point).
  6. Select Verify.

 

If there's no New payroll tasks option, here's another way to verify the test transaction:

 

  1. Go to the Gear icon, then Payroll settings.
  2. In Bank accounts, select Edit.    
  3. Select Verify Amount, then enter and confirm the amount.

 

After this process, change back to your payroll bank account in QBO. 

 

If this option doesn't work for you, you can consider contacting our Payroll Support team. They can reinitiate the test deposit for your original payroll bank account and guide you through further steps. Here's how you can reach out to them:

 

  1. Go to Help (?).
  2. Select Contact Us.
  3. Enter your concern, then select Let's talk.
  4. Choose a way to connect with us:
  • Start a chat with a support expert.
  • Get a callback from the next available expert.
