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.

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'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.

 

If you have additional questions, you can always get back to this thread. 


When you write the checks, where does the money come from? Is it coming from whatever bank account you have attached to it?
