    Hi @lindak1119,

     

    Welcome to the Community. I'm here to lend a hand with importing a .qbw file. 

     

    In order to import the file into QuickBooks Online, you will first need to open it in QuickBooks Desktop and import the file from there. If you don't have a version of QuickBooks Desktop installed on your computer or it's an older version, there's no need to worry, as there are trial versions that can be utilized. I'm including some articles that will assist you with this process:

     

     

    I'm confident that these resources will help you with getting the file imported. 

     

    Lastly, since you're importing into QuickBooks Online, I suggest the following link which contains tutorials for the software: QuickBooks Tutorials. This can help to ensure that you get the most out of the software for your business. 

     

    Don't hesitate to let me know if you have questions or need anything. Wishing you a wonderful to start to the year.

    So your saying I cannot take a qbw and just upload it?? I have to download an entirely different program (which I have to use a prepay free trial time)  to then upload a file to the online version? Seems like a massively lazy design issue. There should be a upload option on the online version not the other way around.

    Thank you for getting back, @HaPhung.

     

    You can fix this error by entering the same amount beside the $ field and the Amount column. I'm here to guide you on how to do it.

     

    Usually, this error happens when the check amount is different from the amount under the Expenses or Items section. You need to review each item added and enter the same amount/total on the $ sign.

     

    1. From the Check window, switch the tab from the Expenses to the Items section.
    2. Sum up the amount per line items and columns.
    3. Enter the total on the $ field under Date.

    I've added these screenshots for your visual references.

     

    Moreover, here's an article you can read more about creating, modifying, and printing checks in QuickBooks Desktop.

     

    You can also save time by memorizing your checks in the future. You can open this article for more information: Create an automatic recurring payment (check) to a vendor.

     

    If you have any other questions about recording checks/payments, please let me know by leaving a comment below. I'm always here to help. Have a good one!


    Hi Angelyn,

     

    So, every time I need to record a hand written check or record any expenses from checks, I have to write a check on QB again first?  Thank you for your helping. Really appreciate.
