Pay contractors with checks?

Thanks for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community, @lindalambert626-.

I'm happy to lend a hand with printing contractor checks and where you can order checks at. 

Before you start, make sure you've set up your printing preferences.

Once you're set up:

1. Go to Payroll and choose Contractors.
2. Click on the dropdown next to the contractor's name and then Write check.
3. From the Bank account dropdown, choose the account the check withdraws money from.
4. Complete the check fields you need.
5. Select the Print check option if you want to open the check queue to print now. Or tap on the Print Later checkbox if you want to print the check later.
6. Hit Save and close to close the check window. Or Save and new if you need to create another check. 

That should do the trick. To see different options for ordering checks, check out Business Checks: Order checks online for Intuit QuickBooks.

For additional information about printing checks, take a look at the guide I've included below.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Have a good one!

If I choose print later and close, where do they go? Because they aren't in my Pay Bills lists or my Print Checks lists. 

I'll share some guidelines to help you locate the check you set for later printing.

First, you'll want to verify if you selected the correct account. Here's how:

1. Select + New.
2. Under the Vendors section, select Print Checks.
3. From the Account drop-down, make sure you select the correct bank account. If not, choose the exact bank account from the drop-down.

Next, ensure you set the bill payments or checks for later printing: 

1. Go to Bookkeeping, select Transactions, then choose Expenses.
2. On the Expense Transactions window, select the Bill Payment/Check you want to print, then select View/Edit.
3. In the Bill Payment/Check window, check the Print Later box.
4. Click Save and Close.

If the issue persists, we can perform basic troubleshooting steps to see if it's a browser issue. Sometimes your browser's cache and cookies become corrupted, causing problems when accessing websites or opening files. To begin, open your QBO account in an incognito window. It will prevent the browser history from being saved. Please refer to the following keyboard shortcuts based on your browser type:

• Google Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + N
• Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Microsoft Edge: Ctrl + Shift + P
• Safari: Command + Shift + N

If the private browsing session works, clear the browser's cache so the system can restart. This task is also possible in other supported, up-to-date browsers. Clearing the cache will reboot the system, allowing you to work with clearing the cache. It will also help you get rid of any junk files that might be slowing down your work.
