Thanks for coming to the Community for help, @daddyspags.
QuickBooks currently doesn’t have a built-in spell check feature. The system uses the one installed on your browser.
If you’re getting a red line under words that are spelled correctly, this can be caused by the change in the language preference settings. Please follow the steps below to verify.

Once you got the right setting, make sure to log out and back in for the program to start fresh.
Reach out to me if you have additional concerns. I’m here for you. Have an awesome day!

The spell-check feature is indeed a great idea, @daddyspags.
Let me pass this along to the appropriate department and team members for consideration in the near future. A suggestion like this helps us determine what enhancements and improvements are needed to make our product more effective and convenient to use.
While we continue to make your experience with us even better, I recommend visiting our QuickBooks Online Blog to get the recent news, information about the latest features, and updates.
Know that you can count on me if there's anything else you need. I'm here and ready to help. Have a fantastic day!
I vote for needing spellcheck in the QBO app. The website doesn't allow me to have multiple companies open so I need to use the app and really need spellcheck. Please & thanks!
I cant believe there isn't a spellcheck feature built in to quickbooks online! We used it for years with the desktop version and grew so accustomed to it! It should be a no-brainer!
Thanks for becoming part of the Community, MeanieMeena.
I can certainly understand how a spell checking feature could be useful to yourself/other subscribers. My colleague, KhimG, posted a workaround that can be used for the time being and sent a suggestion to our developers on January 8, 2020 about creating one. I've additionally submitted a request about it as of today.
