Hi there, 

 

If paychecks do not post to the correct account, it usually means the payroll bank account is misconfigured in your employee’s direct deposit account details. Let's fix this by ensuring your employee's direct deposit details are correct.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. On the left menu, head to Payroll.
  2. Go to the Employees tab.
  3. Open the employee.
  4. Edit the payment method and ensure you map to the correct account.

 


 

If you mean by the payroll funding account, you'll need to change it every time you run a payroll. Here's how:

 

  1. On the left menu, head to Payroll and select Employees.
  2. Click Run Payroll.
  3. Ensure the amounts are accurate, then click Preview Payroll.
  4. Change the Chart of Account to your desired account.

Another way is to manually enter payroll paychecks to ensure everything is recorded accurately. 

 

You can also track and manage your employee's projects by utilizing the projects feature in QuickBooks Online. This ensures accurate budgeting and streamlined workforce oversight.
