Hi siouxsu,

Thanks for getting back to us. We don't recommend mixing business and personal expenses in QuickBooks Online to avoid messing up your books. For your case, it is best if you'll only record the business expense, and keep personal expenses outside QuickBooks and track them personally.

If you've loaned from your personal account, you can track it under a liability account in QuickBooks Online.

Furthermore, we'd recommend checking in with your accountant to get more accounting advice on how to track the transaction on your personal account.

Feel free to post again in the Community if you have more questions. We'll be sure to get back to you as soon as we can.
