check writing

[ivansilverberg]

With loss of quicken essentials I tried quicken 2016 but found it was far too complex for my needs. All I need is a program that will let me write and print checks, and categorized/summary them for tax purposes. Any suggestions?

Hello and welcome.

I have been a Quicken user for as long as I can remember. I have checked out a few others including iBank in the past, but I always come back to Quicken.

-Which version of OS X?
-Do you still have Quicken Essentials and does it still run?

I still use Quicken 2007, and it works perfectly. In fact, I have been using it through a number of versions of OS X. I have never tried to print checks, but I see that is an option under the File menu. Yes, Quicken 2007 is somewhat limited when compared to Quicken Essentials, Quicken 2015, and Quicken 2016, but it easily satisfies my needs.

I using OS10.11.2 and Quicken Essentials. Because of a death in the familyI haven't had a chance to try your suggestions, but I will do so with thanks

Thank you so much for your condolences We are returning back to baseline. Your suggestion was 100% right. Since I already had downloaded quicken 2016, I have both icons in the dock. I write checks on Quicken essentials as the data is there, and the format of the display is 2016. Checks print fine, and test summary run was correct. I appreciate the help
