Hi there, 

 

QuickBooks makes it easy to void a cheque. I'd be glad to walk you through the steps. 

 

When the chequ hasn’t been cashed, and wasn’t included in your previous reconciliation, you can void it by following the steps below:

  1.     Select Accounting from the left menu.
  2.     Select Chart of Accounts at the top.
  3.     Select the bank account the check you need to void was recorded under and choose View Register.
  4.     Locate the desired cheque and click to highlight.
  5.     Click Edit.
  6.     On the bottom center click More and select Void.
  7.     Confirm Are you sure you want to void this cheque? by selecting Yes.

However, if the check was included in your previous reconciliations, you’ll need to undo the reconciliation then delete the transaction. Once done, you can then redo the reconciliation process. Feel free to ask questions. I'm here to help. :)

What do you do if the stale dated cheque is in the past year end that is closed?

how would you handle a stale dated cheque that was in the last 6 months reconciliations, and was written in 2023.
