Thank you , jamespaul. What I am trying to produce is simply the equivalent of a check register with splits detail. The Transaction List with Splits is close to what I need. I see it does have the splits listed. However, I also need the running balance, and I don't want all the detail for every account. But if I specify just one account, as you know, the report does not show the splits.
I also tried the Transaction Detail by Account report as you suggested, but I did not get any split detail at all.
In the desktop version, printing a check register with split detail is as simple as checking a box. I hope QBO will add this capability in future updates. This should not be so complicated.
Thank you very much for your help.
Good morning, @mbgruber.
Thanks for following up with us. I'm happy to submit a feedback request on your behalf to have the ability to print the check register.
I understand how having the ability to print the check register as you can in the Desktop version of QuickBooks would be beneficial for you and your business. I have personally submitted a feedback request, so this could be considered in a future update.

I'm looking for this same functionality... any updates? It is very frustrating that I can't do things in quickbooks online that I could do in Desktop 2017...
Hello, Jamie.
Both programs are different, but I do agree that an important missing feature in a program can be frustrating. That said, I'll share some information on how you can print your register in QuickBooks Online.
To clarify, are you trying to print the check register as what the original poster had asked? If that's the case, you'll want to go to your account's register page and print it from there. Here's how:
Though if you want a more detailed view, the Transaction List with Splits report can work. Take note that this report is available in QuickBooks Essentials, Plus or Advanced versions.
To pull up the report:
If you need to customize it, you can check this article for a guide: Customize reports in QuickBooks Online.

This works beautifully, thank you for that. I went in to customize what is showing and reorder the columns but the only issue now is that the Debit column actually has credits (deposits) and the Credit column has debits (checks written, etc.). I have tried just switching the headings but the amounts under each heading move right along with it. For an additional head scratcher, the Balance column shows the correct amount all the way down the list (in other words it adds/subtracts each figure correctly). I am seriously starting to think that Intuit is actually trying to drive people bat s*** crazy! I moved (regretfully) from the glitchy Desktop Premier to the current nightmare of QBO, I can honestly say I prefer the glitchy QB because it's faults were obvious and able to be worked around. Please help me, if you can.
You're welcome, @abcontile2. Let me share additional information on how entries reflect in QuickBooks Online.
In accounting, debit accounts track incoming funds and increase asset and expense accounts, whereas credit accounts record outgoing money and decrease asset and expense accounts while increasing liability, revenue, and equity accounts. This explains why your deposits appear in the Debit column and your checks in the Credit column. It's not an issue, but that's how it works in QBO. See this for more details: Debit vs. credit accounting: The ultimate guide.
Moreover, the amounts would also move right along when reordering the column headers on your register. We'd also appreciate it if you provide us with a screenshot of the things you're referring to. This helps us further investigate and guide you on the best action to take.

I'll be here if you have more questions regarding banking, printing, or QuickBooks. Have a good one!
That is simply confusing because everywhere else a credit increases and a debit decreases, always. When someone debits their bank account, it refers to money out and not a deposit. I guess I am just not used to QBO or something. Desktop didn't list debit / credit, only payment / deposit but I haven't seen that option.
Thanks anyway.
@abcontile2 It is confusing. But you are looking at it from YOUR bank statement perspective when accounting looks at it from the BANKS perspective.
This is a good explanation I pulled from https://fiscalfoundations.com
Your bank account is an asset. It is something of value that you own. When you deposit money into your account, you are increasing that Asset account. What increases an Asset account? A debit.
CHALLENGE QUESTION – If a bank deposit is a debit to your bank account, why does your bank statement call it a credit?
ANSWER – Because the bank statement is stated from the bank’s point of view. The money deposited into your checking account is a debit to you (an increase in an asset), but it is a credit to the bank because it is not their money. It is your money and the bank owes it back to you, so on their books, it is a liability. An increase in a Liability account is a credit.
I'm sorry - but shouldn't a check book register be one in the list of a few reports that are used by all clients? I just read a page of instructions on how to create a report that does not answer my questions. Why should I develop a report and have to save it - and why wouldn't you want to save it after you spent an hour on trying to figure it out.
Come on QB. Give us a Check Register Report. You do it and save for the rest of us. Shouldn't take long or be too hard.
I wanted just a check register with totals. So I went to Journal reports and customized it and named it "Check Register". Gives me a list of checks and a total by whatever date I want.
