How can I rewrite a check that was lost?

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. 

Thank you! 

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. 

Hello there,

I have QB Premier and I'm in Texas. 

Thanks for your time! :)

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.

Perfect! In my case, the employee tore a check, and the bank wouldn't take it. I had the old check in hand, so no need to do a stop payment or anything.

With this reprint method, there is no sign of the old check number on QB and it is replaced with the new check number....Thanks
