Print checks and pay stubs

You can hand write checks or you can print checks and pay stubs for your employees and contractors from the Intuit Full Service Payroll site.

Print checks

You'll need QuickBooks-compatible check stock to print your paychecks. Check stubs can be printed on regular printer paper. Before you print your checks on check stock for the first time, print the alignment sheet on regular printer paper and contact us (live chat) so an Intuit Full Service Payroll agent can help you set up the alignment.

  1. Determine whether you need to print checks for employees or contractors:
  2. On the confirmation page, click Print paychecks or Print checks.
  3. In the window to print checks, enter the starting check number. Click Autofill, and then click Print. A PDF opens with ready-to-print paychecks.
  4. Make sure your printer is filled with check stock.
  5. Click the printer icon in the PDF viewer.

If you navigate away from the confirmation page, but still need to print or reprint checks, you can go to the Reports tab, and then click Print Paychecks and Pay Stubs. This feature allows you to print from any date range and enter check numbers. Alternatively, you can go to Recent Payments on your Home page, and click the most recent pay date.
