Unnecessary conversion.

checks = '0123456789' is much easier to type.

Loop through checks, not s

Replace everything with

s = input("Enter a string of digits: ")
for d in '0123456789':
     c = s.count(d)
     if c:
         print("{} occurs {} time{}".format(d, c, '' if c == 1 else 's'))

Enter a string of digits: 12233344499
1 occurs 1 time
2 occurs 2 times
3 occurs 3 times
4 occurs 3 times
9 occurs 2 times
