That did not help at all. I am not sure I am explaining this good enough so I will try again.

I pay the payroll and it drafts from Bank A. So that is fine, taxes are also paid from Bank A and there is no issue there. The problem is once QuickBooks creates the Direct Deposit Liability, instead of showing up in Bank A, it shows up in Bank B. How do I get QuickBooks make that liability show up in Bank A like it should?

Hello there, @angie-barker.

You can create a direct deposit offset item in QuickBooks Desktop. This process will prevent you from overpaying your employees.

Here's how:

Go to the Lists menu and select Payroll Item List.
Select the payroll item and double click the name.
Hit Next until you reach the Agency for company-paid liability window.
Check if Other Current Liability account is selected on the Liability account drop-down.
Click Finish.
