Hi - we're considering printing checks out of QuickBooks. I apologize if this seems like a dumb question, but here goes. If we buy the checks and print some, there isn't anything preventing us from handwriting one, is there? We want the freedom to write one on the spot if we're not near a printer, but also to print them to get rid of our crazy contraption of a checkbook register. (Seriously, it's crazy.)
Solved! Go to Solution.
All questions are entertained here in the QuickBooks Community, @wiss22.
Yes, you have the option to either hand write checks or print them. Just make sure that when you write checks, you also enter them in QuickBooks to correct your recordings.
If you don't want to add the check to the Print Checks queue, you can uncheck the Print later box. On the other hand, put a check mark on the box if you wish to print it.
Check out the screenshots below as a reference:
That should keep you going today, wiss22.
Keep me posted if you have other questions about checks, I'm still here to offer more help. Have a good one.

I am actually trying to do the same thing . I am filling in for my co worker who normally handles this . Im in a pinch and need to handwrite a check to a vendor but I don't want to do it incorrectly are there any examples listed anywhere to verify I write it correctly ? Our checks have no lines to write on so I'm a little nervous to attempt
I have written a Bank Check (for company expenses).
Now, I want to print a voucher for ratification from different divisions on A4 paper.

Let me share some insights about printing checks in QuickBooks Desktop.
In QuickBooks Desktop, you can print checks one at a time or several at a time. Although, keep in mind, that the form/checks you need to use must contain preprinted account numbers and check numbers, because QuickBooks Desktop can only fill in the payment information.
That said, blank check stock or plain paper will not work. You can visit our website to order and customize your own check styles.
Once you have a preprinted QuickBooks compatible voucher check, you may use this article as your reference: Create, modify, and print checks.
I'm adding this link just in case you'll bump into an issue when printing checks in QuickBooks Desktop.
You're welcome to reach us back if you still need further assistance. I'll make sure to check on your posts and response. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you very much for all your efforts.
We have some ready-to-use TEMPLATE FORMATS in Quickbooks (LIST >>>> TEMPLATES).
We have PAYMENT RECEIPT -- why we do not have PAYMENT/CHECK ISSUED TEMPLATE.
I repeat, my question is, why we do not have a Payment/Check Issued Template (please see the attached).
Where we can record all necessary information ex., Receiver's name (who is collecting the check), Receiver's Signature, details for Bills/Cost, etc.,
I hope I conveyed my problem.
I appreciate the additional clarification about your concern, sajidrasheed.
When printing checks in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT), preprinted checks are used. Therefore, the template for this is default.
Use these articles as your guide on how to print checks individually or in batch:

Let me provide some information about customizing Intuit Standard Bill Payment template, @sajidrasheed.
I recognize how relevant having the Additional customization button in the template is. Currently, this option is unavailable when creating Intuit Standard Bill Payment.
At times, we roll out enhancements based on our customer's requests. That being said, I recommend sending a recommendation to our product developers. They'll review this idea and might consider updating it in the future.
Here's how:
In the meantime, you'll want to make sure of the available customization settings on the Basic customization page. This way, you can personalize your Intuit Standard bill payment template.
In addition to that, let me share these articles you can utilize to manage your form templates:
Keep in touch if you have further questions about customizing templates in QuickBooks. I'll be happy to help you more. Stay safe and have a good day!

Hi there, lslouie. Allow me to assist you so that you can print those checks right away.

I have a different issue. Recently subscribed to QB and have a supply of several hundred checks, which I'd like to use up. Fortunately my checks sync up pretty well with QB format with two exceptions. First, on my checks, date is to the left of amount paid, where in QB it is above. Second, I'd like to include a memo field, such as my ID #, and don't know to add that. Can anyone help with these issues?
Hello there, RAlampi. I'm here to help you add your ID number in the memo field when printing checks and adjust the date accurately.
When there's incorrect alignment when printing your check, it's essential to ensure that your printer is set up correctly and that you are using the appropriate printer drive.
Meanwhile, we must adjust the alignment when the amount format is inaccurate when printing a check. However, the option to move the date is unavailable. With that said, I recommend sending feedback to our product engineers.
Our dedicated product development team will carefully review your idea and may consider it for future updates. We appreciate your input and value your contribution towards improving our product.
To submit your suggestion:
On the other hand, you can add a memo to a check by clicking on the "Memo" field while creating the check. It allows you to include additional information, for example, an ID number.
To add a memo field:
