Thank you for sharing your confusion about the steps shared by my colleague above, @Big-Al.
Let me provide additional information about recording credit card charges and help you from there.
Yes, you're correct. The process shared by my colleague above is to offset the credit card liability account and mark the bill as paid. Though your suggestion on writing a check is a great idea, I still recommend seeking help from your accountant. They can help ensure it puts on the correct accounts.
On the other hand, a check is tagged as Print Later in the write check window, it'll remain in the print queue until you actually print it. Thus, you can't remove the check from the queue. You can just enter check numbers as you create them and disable the "To print" option if you aren't printing them.
Come back to this post if you need more assistance about this, @Big-Al. I'll be around to provide further assistance.
You may also want to run and customize reports in QuickBooks Desktop. This will help you focus on the transactions or business information you want to see.
Wishing you all the best!
