Can I print a check for contractor or do I have to write one ?

Hi there, @kat-empiredrywal.

Yes, you can create and print checks for contractors in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Let me show you how:

1. Go to + New, then select Check.
2. From the Payee ▼ drop-down list, choose who you want to address the check to.
3. From the Bank Account ▼ drop-down menu, select the account you want the money to come from.
4. Fill out the rest of the fields accordingly.
5. If you plan to print the check, you can choose to print it now or later.

Please note that once you select Print check, QuickBooks will save the check and redirect you to the Print Checks page. On the other hand, choosing the Print later checkbox will add the check to the print queue where you can enter the check number and print all your checks at once.

If you're using QuickBooks Online Payroll, you can also either write paper checks or pay direct deposits to your contractors.

Let me also share this resource for additional reference about setting up your print settings so you can print checks in QBO: Configure your print settings for printing checks in QuickBooks.

If you need further clarifications about printing checks for your contractors, please add them to this thread and I'll be here to help.
