Question

When you void an uncashed check from a prior year, there is supposed to be a way that Quickbooks will ask if you want it to create the two ledger entries.

When you void an uncashed check from a prior year, there is supposed to be a way that Quickbooks will ask if you want it to create the two ledger entries.  I tried voiding a check and nothing happened.

It would be great if there was and it's been requested a lot but QBO isn't that smart.  You have to reverse it manually.  Create a deposit in the current period to offset the check you want to void.  Then, re-issue a new check.  Use a Clearing Account as the offset or whatever account you like.  The next time you reconcile, clear the check you want to void against the deposit.  Some people like to issue a new check, then void it, and change the old check number to the new check number.  I don't like that method because you end up with a missing check number.

You're thinking of real QuickBooks, the Desktop version.   QuickBooks Online can't be expected to have such useful features. They're struggling just to keep the system up - most of the time.
