I want to handwrite checks for payroll but have never done it through QB.

Hey, 

I am a new user and would like to handwrite my checks (bank checks) for my employees. What steps must I take to ensure that Quickbooks has everything on file. Do I use the option paper check and give the handwritten check to my employee.

I've got the steps on how you can get your employees paid through paper checks, @Qualityeifs.

 

You can select the paper check option and give the handwritten check to your employee. 

 

Here's how:

  1. Go to the Payroll menu and select the Employees tab.
  2. Click on the employee's name, then click on the Pencil icon beside the Pay Method section.
  3. Select Paper check from the drop-down.
  4. Click Save.

 

You can check out this link to learn the different payment methods in QuickBooks Online: Ways to pay employees.

 

Moreover, you can also print your paycheck and pay stubs when running payroll.

 

If you have any other follow-up questions about handling paychecks in QBO, please let me know by adding a comment below. I'm always here to help. Have a good one!
