How do I add a check that was written and not picked up by quickbooks. I am connected to my bank but for some reason one check was not entered into quickbooks.

Hello there, @went2fish.

I'm here to ensure you're able to add a check that's written in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE). This way, you can keep your expense transactions recorded accordingly and your financial data updated.

When you connect your accounts to QBSE, your transactions will automatically download. Once the check is already posted on your bank statement, you may first manually update your account in QBSE. This will refresh the connection between the system and your financial institution. Here's how:

1. Log into your QBSE account in a web browser.
2. Go to the Gear icon.
3. Select Bank accounts.
4. Click Refresh all.

I've attached a screenshot below that shows the last step.

In case the check/expense is still missing, let's go to the Transactions menu and manually add the said transaction. Here's how:

1. Go to the Transactions menu.
2. Click the Add transaction button.
3. Enter all the necessary check details.
4. Click Save.

I've attached a screenshot below for your reference.

After that, you'll have to categorize the transaction. This will organize your income and expenses and make sure QuickBooks puts your transactions on the correct line of your Schedule C form. For the detailed steps, you can refer to this article: Categorize transactions in QuickBooks Self-Employed.

Let me know how it goes in the comments below. I'm just around to help if you have other concerns about managing your expenses and bank transactions in QBSE. Take care always
