    Hi there, @mmadrid. 

     

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community. The option to create/print check is not available in QuickBooks Self-Employed. You can only send invoice and track the transactions.   

     

    Here's how to send an invoice: 

     

    1. Go to Invoices, then click Create invoice. 
    2. Fill up the information field, and enter the client Email. 
    3. Click Add to invoice. 
    4. Hit Send invoice. 

      

     

     

     

     

    Once done, your client will receive a notification through email. If any changes are made to the Invoice (including when it’s paid), anyone who received the Invoice will be able to open it with their initial email and see the changes reflected automatically.

     

    You can check this article for more details and workflow about QuickBooks Self-Employed: QuickBooks Self-Employed Overview. 

     

    Let me know if you need more assistance with this. I'll be around to further help you. Have a great day!

    Why did you post a non-answer? 

    For future reference because you might be an AI.

    An invoice is not a check. 

    A check is money going out.

    An invoice is money coming in

    A vendor cannot be paid with an invoice. 

    Therefore, explaining invoices is a pointless task in the conversation. 

     What would be useful is finding and sharing the add-on or upgrade required.

    Alternatively, recommending another program or service.

      I need this answer too! What level do we need! I can obviously see the invoice button. I need to generate checks.


      I'd like to make it up to you, Math is hard.

       

      In QuickBooks Self-Employed, you can enter income and expense transactions. Although, you're unable to generate checks.

       

      You'll want to check our QuickBooks Online Simple Start instead. This is best for small service businesses. This allows you to create and print checks. You can visit our website to check our online plans.
