How can I rewrite a check that was lost?

I have a payroll check that has not cleared. I'm going to assume it's lost. How can I go in and just print a new check with same information? Just different check number...same date etc.

I've looked up youtube videos, but all of them have a box that shows "to be printed" underneath the check that was already written...Mine doesn't show up like that...

*I was going to go into that particular check and void it, then go in and re-write it with exact information and same date...that way payroll taxes and such were not all messed up...

What advice can you give me? Thanks!

To avoid screwing up the payroll records - I suggest you issue the replacement cheque manually. Then in QB issue a zero amount (like a void) and just note that it was a reprint of (original).  Then when it goes thru the bank clear the original QB entry.

Of course you should also bank stop the original just to be sure.

Hey @Pryor420,

 

Welcome to the Community. I'd be glad to help you print a new check with the same information. 

 

If the payroll check is already in the system, you should be able to print it with a few clicks. Here's how:

 

  1. Select Workers and choose Employees.
  2. Modify the date range with the Dropdown arrow in the top left of the screen, so that the check is included.
  3. Click on the Check to open it.
  4. Select Print.

 

I've included a quick video to serve as a reference:

 

 

The following article contains additional insight into this, such as setup preferences: Print Paychecks.

 

That should be it. I'm confident that these resources will help you get back to business.  

 

Let me know if I can be of further help. Wishing you well.

I do not do on-line payroll...This didn't seem to be a solution that would work for me...I don't have a tab called "Workers" on my QB program. 

Thank you :)

Hello again, @Pryor420,

 

Thanks for getting back to me and providing that clarification. 

 

Since you're not seeing the Workers tab, could you please let me know which version of QuickBooks that you're using and the region where your company is located? This will help to ensure that I provide you with the best information. 

 

Looking forward to your reply. Take care.

Thank you for the quick response, Pryor420.

Allow me to take over and help you rewrite a lost check in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

If you need to issue a replacement check with a different check number, you can follow the step-by-step process below.

 

Here's how:

  1. Click Employees at the top menu bar.
  2. On the drop-down list, click Employee Center.
  3. Click the name of the employee for whom you want to print a replacement paycheck.
  4. Click QuickReports in the top right corner.
  5. Change the date range to include the date of the paycheck.
  6. Double-click the paycheck that the employee lost.
  7. Click to select the Print Later checkbox in the toolbar above the paycheck. (When you select it, the words To Print replace the check number.)
  8. Click the Print button.
  9. In the Print Paycheck window, enter a number for the replacement paycheck, click OK.

For more details, check out this article: Issue a lost paycheck.
