how do i void a check that has been already printed

Hi Kjackson,

I'm an Intuit employee, working in our Accountants Professional Division.

It's good that you are looking to void the check verses deleting the check. Voiding a check only changes the amount to zero, but keeps the empty transaction in QuickBooks. Deleting a check will remove the transaction from QuickBooks and can't be undone. Since you already printed the check, you should void it.

Now, regarding this check, is it a paycheck that you made or another type of check? If its a paycheck and you don't have Payroll you would:

1) Go to the Employees menu and click Edit or Void Paychecks

2) Enter a date range (date paychecks were issued) in the Show Paychecks from and through fields, and press tab to display the checks.

3) Click to select the paycheck and choose the Void button.

4) Follow any remaining instructions and then choose Done to close the window.

I found this answer at support.quickbooks.intuit.com for reference. Also, if you're new to QuickBooks you may want to try a new service we have that allows you to quickly get setup and trained with a professional accountant right from your home or office.

I hope this helps.
