Glad to have you here in the Community, @mike438.

 

I'm here to guide you through the process of depositing a paper check into a QuickBooks Checking account.

 

The only way to put the money into your QuickBooks Checking account is to deposit the check into your external bank account. Then, transfer it to your QuickBooks Checking account. You may need to set up an account you already linked for online banking a second time for QuickBooks Cash. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Cash Flow menu.
  2. In the QuickBooks Checking section, choose Transfer money.
  3. Select Transfer in. You won't transfer money yet, we just need to start the connection.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
  5. Enter the bank's name and select a type in the Account Type field. Then, click Next.
  6. Enter your info in the Account number and Routing number fields. Then, choose Next.
  7. When you're ready to connect, select Sounds good.

 

QuickBooks will send two small deposits to the account within the next 3 days. After you get the confirmation email, come back to QuickBooks to verify the transactions.

 

  1. Select the verify link in the email. Or sign in to QuickBooks Online, go to the Cash Flow menu, and select Verify bankNote: Some banks don't require verification. Instead, you can just select Add to connect your bank.
  2. Enter the two deposit amounts sent from QuickBooks. The order doesn't matter.
  3. When you're ready, select Confirm.

 

Once done, you can now transfer your money into your QuickBooks Checking account. Let me guide you how.

 

  1. Go to the Cash Flow menu, then select QuickBooks Checking. 
  2. Select Transfer and choose the option to transfer money between your accounts.
  3. In the From field, select (+). Then select your connected bank account.
  4. In the To field, select your QuickBooks Checking account.
  5. Enter the amount you want to transfer.
  6. Click Finalize transfer once you're done.
