Episode Synopsis

The Starting Check Number in QuickBooks refers to the first check number that will be used when printing or recording checks in your account. When you set up a new bank account or begin using new check stock, QuickBooks allows you to enter a starting check number to ensure that your checks are properly sequenced and easy to track. This helps maintain accurate records and prevents duplicate or missing check numbers. For example, if your last physical check was numbered 1050, you can enter 1051 as the starting check number so QuickBooks continues numbering from there automatically each time you print or record a new check.
