I have been directed to the help articles that tell you how to pay yourself with a check and told to do that. It does not really help me. When I take money out of my business account I use the ATM it automatically categorizes it as an owners draw. Which makes sense to me. But then Im told I need to write a check to myself in quickbooks? So my question is when I write a check to myself it makes it look like the money is actually coming out of my bank which it already has so why should I have to do that at all? But then everything is out of whack so how do I record payment to myself if I take the money out of the bank through the atm?
