what is TO PRINT in check register, instead of a check number?

I was looking through our check register and noticed a tax payment marked TO PRINT, in the area that usually shows check numbers.  Does this mean that the tax payment is not paid?

    Hi @kybluejean,

     

    Not necessarily. A check that has the option Print later enabled will have no check number on it. The reason for this is because you'll have to assign the check number when you're in the process of printing it. 

     

    For example, you created the check outside of QuickBooks Online (QBO) and recorded it with the Print later box enabled. This doesn't mean that the tax payment didn't go through. You can simply remove the check on the Print later box and assign a check number to it. 

     

    In case you need to check your filing status for a tax return, it's best to view your tax agency's website. 

     

    See this article for additional info: Print a check in QuickBooks Online. it's a step-by-step guide from setting up your QBO company to print checks, up until the actual printing process.

    TO PRINT should not show in the check register for a tax payment if the payment is made electronically to the tax agency.  I use QBO for two different businesses and TO PRINT shows on the register for the state payroll tax payment in one business but not the other.  This has never happened before and the TO PRINT cannot be edited out.  This also makes this payment show up in the "Print Checks" list which is in error.

    Let's run some steps to isolate why the To Print button disappear, lgamb58.

     

    There are times that when the system encounters cache-related issues, concerns like this occurs. To start with, let's open QuickBooks on a private window. You can use these keyboard keys to open one:

     

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

     

    If it works, we can go back to a regular page and clear its cache. We can also switch to a different browser like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.

    I'm just around if there's anything that I can help. Keep safe!
