I understand what you are saying, but in my opinion, I would rather click the Void button, enter a date (not in a prior period, I was not arguing to date in prior period) and be done with it, let the software reverse it. I am thinking most users would pull up the check anyway to double check where the offset went for their bank deposit. So they are there anyway. Also, I would like the software to label the check as voided, then it would not appear on the 1099. The accounting program I used prior to QB did this. I agree, it is easy to make a deposit, but basically I just do not like quick books.
