How to Make Checks in Quicken

Quicken makes it convenient to balance your checkbook from your computer. You can actually create checks using your Quicken program as well, though it's unknown to many people. You'll never have to handwrite checks again. Just create, write and print a check from your computer and drop it in the mail. Follow these steps to learn how.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Open your check register in Quicken. Click on the bill that you want to pay.
2. Select "Write Checks" from the "Register" tab. You can also click on "Checks" in the Quicken tool bar.
3. Fill in the blanks on the check. Start by clicking on the date. Enter the date of the check then tab to the next field. This is the "Pay to the Order of" field. You can either click on the payee from the drop down menu or enter a new payee if needed.
4. Press the "Tab" key and enter the dollar amount you would like to pay. Press the "Tab" key again and Quicken will automatically write out the dollar amount on the next line.
5. Type in the address of the payee in the "Address" field on the check. This is so you can place your check in a window envelope if you're using them. Press the "Tab" key again.
6. Click in the category field to select what type of payment this is. For example, if you're paying your landlord it would fall under the field of "Rent." Click the "Record Check" button.
