Hi there, _mt.

Let's generate a Payroll Summary report in QuickBooks Online for a specific date range with the information you need.

Your Payroll Summary report should display your payroll information and past paychecks. If you only see transactions up to July, we should check other payroll reports to see if payroll before July appears. 

Here's how to run payroll reports:

1. On the left navigation panel, click Reports.
2. Scroll down to the Payroll section.
3. Select a report.

You can either choose to run a Paycheck History or Payroll Details report. If the same data shows up, that means you haven't run payroll for the other months. However, if your other payroll transactions show up, let's go back to the Payroll Summary report and run it again for the specific date range desired. Ensure that you click the Apply button when using the date filter and scroll down to the bottom part to see the first payroll that was run. Additionally, make sure the report is filtered to show all employees and locations.

For more info on running payroll reports, you can check out this article: Run payroll reports.

You can also memorize reports to save their customization settings.

I am trying to write the check to pay our balance for 3rd quarter

I can help you write a check to pay your third-quarter balances in your account, Menanlady2.

In QuickBooks Online, you can create a liability check to pay the 3rd quarter balances in your account. However, generating checks to pay non-tax liabilities such as Health Insurance, 401(k) contributions, and Child Support is unavailable.

Moreover, to pay these balances, you'll need to create these payments from the Check screen:

1. In your QBO account, go to the +New icon and select Check.
2. From the Payee dropdown, choose the vendor.
3. Under the Bank account dropdown, choose the account you use for liability payments.
4. Then, enter the Payment date and Check no.
5. From the Category ▼ dropdown, select the account you use to track your liability payments then enter the amount. If you have sub-accounts for each agency you are paying, make sure to select those specific accounts and enter the appropriate amount for the agency.
6. Enter all necessary details then select Save.

Here's a reference for more detailed information: Pay your non-tax liabilities in QuickBooks.
 

In case you require further guidance in paying your employees, you can create your paychecks and run payroll in your account.

I'll be around on this forum if there's anything else you need additional assistance when managing checks and balances in your file. Let me know any time in the comments below. Keep safe.

The best thing I found is go to "Payroll Summary by Employee" report. You can pick the dates you want. The only line you will need to concern yourself with is the top line that shows the names and count the names. It will include all employees. Those no longer there will have an asterisk by their name. I hope this helps someone.

Thanks for Pointing to the paycheck count. But for my need , this paycheck counts is not correct 

(In My Case) Let say I had 22 Paychecks on 06/15/2025 and 23 Paychecks on June 30 ( I do Semi monthly payroll). If I take the last payroll paycheck count 23 as my Whole month count , will be incorrect. That is Due to Variables like "Employee Quit, New Employee Added and Some Employee were paid Monthly. So I my Case  I took the June 30th Count 23, Add 2 Monthly, Add 3 New Employee and Subtract 2 Who Quited = 26 ( Which Matches My June Count from payroll Earning Summary after manual count). So Ideally Intuit Should have an Option to Insert the Row Number Instead on downlaoding to Excel than count, etc. Also the original Question of this this thread was meant for Quickbooks Desktop, and I see few help commented fro Online Version
