How do I run payroll so I can manually give my employees checks? I have only done payroll with automatic payroll deposit from my bank.

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community, Jeff. I'll be happy to assist you in running a payroll in QuickBooks Online (QBO) so you can manually give your employees paper paychecks. 

If you haven't created a paycheck, you can switch the employee's pay method as you run payroll. 

Here's how:

1. Go to Payroll and select Employees.
2. Click Run Payroll.
3. Select the employee's row.
4. Below the employee's name, click Paper check in the dropdown button.
5. Preview and submit your payroll.

For other scenarios, please refer to this article: Change a direct deposit paycheck to a paper paycheck.

Furthermore, I'm sharing this list of payroll reports that will be beneficial whenever you need an overview of employee wages, taxes, and contributions: Run payroll reports.

Let me know if you have other questions about running payroll, and we'll respond promptly to your concerns. Stay safe.
