Hi there, Olga93.
Thank you for visiting the QuickBooks Community. I'll be sharing details on how voiding a check from previous period works in QuickBooks Desktop. Then, ensure you'll be routed to the right person to further assist you with this matter so you can achieve your goal.
Yes, there's a way to void the check in the current year so it doesn't affect your 2021 balance. To do this and as suggested above, you can record a deposit with the current date for the total amount and post it to the Other Current Liability account. Then, using the said account was advised in voiding a check from a prior period to offset amounts without affecting the expense from the previous period.
Also, you have the option to create a journal entry to achieve your goal. However, either two ways of voiding a check affect the bank and Accounts payable accounts. That said, I suggest consulting an accountant to ensure your records are accurate. They can provide suggestions on how to properly handle the voided check, particularly with the category/account to use when voiding an entry.
Lastly, you may refer to this article to view details on how you can memorize and create a user role to write checks without seeing confidential information: Create, modify, and print checks.
