Home-printed deposit slips remain a valid option for mailed deposits, teller transactions, and business batching. Modern banking now favors mobile deposits and remote deposit capture, so verify your bank's policy. Use bank portals or accounting software to auto-total, save PDFs, and keep records for reconciliation and tax purposes.

Print deposit slips from home - still an option

You can still print deposit slips from your computer, but the context has changed. A decade ago printing slips at home was a major convenience. Today, mobile check deposit and remote deposit capture have reduced the need for paper slips, but home-printed slips remain useful in specific situations.

When printing a slip makes sense

Print a deposit slip when you prefer handing a prepared envelope to a teller, when you mail a deposit, or when your business processes many physical checks and cash. Accounting software and many bank portals can generate printable deposit slips and PDFs you can save to your records.

How it works now

Most tools let you enter individual checks and cash, then auto-total the deposit. You can save the completed slip as a PDF or print it on blank paper or pre-printed slip stock. For businesses, many accounting systems integrate deposit batching with bookkeeping, reducing manual entry and errors.

What changed: mobile deposits and remote capture

Since smartphones and bank apps added mobile check deposit, many people avoid branch trips entirely. Businesses increasingly use remote deposit capture (RDC) scanners or bank-provided services to scan and transmit checks electronically. These options often eliminate the need for any physical deposit slip.

Acceptance and bank policies

Some banks still accept home-printed deposit slips at branches, while others emphasize digital deposits and in-branch deposit automation. Policies vary by institution and region, so confirm with your bank before relying on printed slips .

Recordkeeping and taxes

Saving a digital copy of your tallied deposit slip is still good practice. Store PDFs or images with your bookkeeping records or cloud backups. These files help reconcile accounts and support tax preparation. Keep deposit documentation according to your tax adviser's guidance; a common baseline is to retain records for at least three years.

  • For mailed deposits, include a printed slip and copy for your records.
