Quicken gives you the ability to track your check payments in 2 locations: Bills & Income and the Register.
Track payment in Bills & Income
Switch to the Bills & Income blue tab to track payment status.
Once you select the link under the Payment Status column, you see a screen that describes the current status of the payment. The following status levels are the most common:
- Scheduled - Payment has been submitted with a future date.
- In Transit - Your check has been sent to the United States Postal Service (USPS) and is on its way to them for delivery.
- Estimated Delivery - The USPS has provided an estimated date for delivery. Quicken cannot report actual delivery dates but will notify you if the check is returned to the sender. Otherwise, this is your final status.
- Returned to sender - The USPS was unable to deliver your check and it was returned to sender.
- Canceled- Your payment was not sent. A zero-dollar transaction will remain in your register as a record.
Payments can only be canceled before they have been printed. Using the Cancel feature does not guarantee cancellation. If the cancellation fails, you will receive the message Your payment can no longer be canceled.
Track payment in the register
Switch to the register of your payment account.
The transaction check status icon indicates the various payment stages:
- Spinner indicates that the payment is being processed.
- Green paper airplane indicates that USPS has the check and the payment is in transit.
- Green check mark indicates that USPS has stated the check should be delivered shortly.
- Yellow exclamation indicates that the payment failed.
- Gray circle and line indicates that the payment has been canceled.
A status description will also appear in the check field.
