Problem
When attempting to send an e-payment, you get the following message:
Warning: To do this task, you must have a bank account set up for E-pay in QuickBooks.
Assumptions
You have an active QuickBooks payroll subscription.
Expected Outcome
You will enable a bank account for E-pay.
Details
This warning appears when the bank account you are using for E-pay is not enabled.
To enable your bank account for E-pay:
Verify that the bank account at the top of the check is the correct bank account used for e-payments.
Choose Employees > Payroll Center.
In the Pay Scheduled Liabilities area, click Related Payment Activities and select Edit Payment Due Dates/Methods.
Select E-pay accounts on the left.
Make sure the exact account listed for the Payroll Liability check (the same default account selected in step 1) is Enabled for E-pay.
If the account is not selected, click the account, verify the routing number, account number, and whether Checking or Savings is selected.
Click OK.
If there is more than one bank account enabled for E-pay, disable the E-pay account you are not using by removing the routing and account numbers.
Click Finish.
