1. Bank Feeds:
- Connect your bank accounts: QBO automatically imports transactions from your bank accounts, including checks you've written.
- Review and categorize transactions: You can review and categorize these transactions within QBO to ensure accuracy.
- Reconcile your accounts: This feature allows you to match your bank statements with your QBO transactions, including checks.
2. Transactions Tab:
- View recent transactions: This tab displays a list of your recent financial activities, including checks.
- Filter transactions: You can filter transactions by date, type, amount, and other criteria to find specific check information.
- View check details: Click on a check transaction to see detailed information such as the payee, amount, and date.
3. Reports:
- Check register reports: QBO offers various reports that can provide a detailed overview of your check activity.
- Customizable reports: You can create custom reports to view specific check information you need.
4. Chart of Accounts:
- View account balances: The chart of accounts displays the current balance of each account, including your checking account.
- Track check payments: You can track how checks affect your account balances.
5. Vendor Center:
