Voiding a check from last year

You can go to the Banking menu and click Use Register to view the check you want to delete, Beth1107. Let me elaborate on it in detail below.

Properly managing closed checks keeps financial records clean and helps with reconciliation and accurate reporting in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT).

To manage those checks I'll be happy to guide you through the process:

1. Once the Use Register is prompted, select the bank account you used for your check.
2. Locate the specific check you want to delete.
3. Select the transaction, click the Edit menu, and choose Delete Check.

To verify if the check has already been deleted, you can run the Audit Trail report. Let me guide you through the steps:

1. Go to the Reports menu and hover over Accountant & Taxes.
2. Choose Audit Trail.
3. Once you are there, you can set the date range for when you deleted the check.

Furthermore,  I've also included a detailed resource about voiding and deleting checks which may come in handy moving forward: Void or delete a bill or bill payment check in QuickBooks Desktop.

I'm still available to assist you whenever you need more help handling your checks. Just reply in this forum, and I'll make sure to get back to you to resolve the issue.

Are you AI?  Did you even read your customer's post?  They want to know how to void (not delete) a check from a closed period.  Your advice will cause changes to be made to closed accounting periods, exactly what your customer was trying to avoid.  

Exactly! Thank you.  I knew that would be the case and didnot follow their advice.
