How to cancel a Stale Dated cheque?

Hello catle3611,

Thanks for choosing QuickBooks to help tackle your accounting goals. I'll be happy to share more info so you can continue to navigate the program with confidence. 

If the cheque in question wasn't cashed as described, or included in previous reconciliations, you can delete it using the steps provided in this helpful article here. However, if the cheque was reconciled you'd have to undo the reconciliation then follow the steps in the article to delete it. 

Let me know if this info helps. I'll be one message away in case you have other questions. 

Hi JamesM4

I have another stale cheque from a previous year. I deleted the cheque but QB deleted it in the original year instead of the current year.  Can you repost the links you provided in your previous message?  When I click on them, I get an error message.  Thank you

We have already reconciled the year, and had books audited.  How can I cancel a stale dated cheque in this circumstance?  Thanks.

Hi NMRC,

Thanks for joining us here.  QuickBooks Desktop offers a couple of ways to handle stale dated cheques.  However, in your situation, I recommend consulting with your accountant, before proceeding.  If you don't have an accountant, you can search for a ProAdvisor in your local area by following this link.

Feel free to reach back out, if you have any other questions. We would be glad to help!
