I'll be glad to help, wtph111@aol.com.

 

You can directly enter the handwritten checks into your bank register. This way, you can enter the correct date and details into QuickBooks.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Accounting menu located on the left side.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts.
  3. Click the View register under the Action column.
  4. Click the Filter drop-down.
  5. Under Transaction Type select Add check.
  6. Fill in the check details.
  7. Hit Save.

Then, repeat the steps for your next check. You can refer to this article for detailed steps: Add transactions to account registers in QuickBooks Online.

 

In case you want to sort and reorder the list of transactions by date, reference number, type of payment, you may refer to his article: Find, review, and edit transactions in account registers.

 

I'm adding this helpful article that can help you when reconciling in QuickBooks Online: Learn the reconcile workflow in QuickBooks. This also consists of detailed steps in fixing issues during a reconciliation.

As another option, utilize the trial period of TPImporter to import the Bill Payment or Check data into your QBO account. You may prepare data with the following template

I am using quickbooks enterprise gold desktop and I do not have the accounting tab that you a referring to so I can enter hand written checks.

Hi there, @Sandra T H. The accounting tab that was previously mentioned applies to QuickBooks Online (QBO) only. Let me walk you through the process of entering handwritten checks in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT)

Start by preparing your handwritten checks since these will be essential for recording purposes for your checks. Then, enter the transactions through the Write Checks feature in QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) as an alternative method for recording handwritten checks.

Here's how:
 
  1. Open QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Go to the top menu bar and select the Banking menu.
  3. From the Banking menu, choose Write Checks. This will open the check-writing window.
  4. In the check-writing window, enter the details of your handwritten check.
  5. Ensure you fill in the payee, bank account, amount, and any relevant memo or account information.
  6. After entering all necessary information, click Save & Close to record the check.

 

This method will allow you to manually enter handwritten checks into QuickBooks without needing an accounting tab.

I'll provide this article to guide you in completing your year-end tasks and preparing for the upcoming year in QBDT. This resource will help ensure that your transactions are accurately recorded.
