If you're experiencing issues with emailing pay stubs in QuickBooks, it's essential to address common concerns such as email delivery failures, missing attachments, incorrect recipient addresses, and non-receipt of pay stubs by employees.

The first step in resolving email delivery failures is to check your internet connection and SMTP settings. Ensure that the email address of the recipient is entered correctly and that there are no restrictions on the recipient's email server.

To prevent missing attachments, always double-check that the pay stubs are attached before sending the email. This simple step can save you a lot of headaches.

Maintaining an updated contact list and verifying email addresses periodically for accuracy can also help avoid incorrect recipient addresses.
