I'll help you set up your owner's draw, @baron2.

 

We can create an expense transaction in setting up your draw instead of using a check. I'll guide you how.

 

To begin, let's add an equity account. To do so, you may follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Gear icon and then select Chart of Accounts.
  2. On the Chart of Accounts window, choose New.
  3. From the Account Type drop-down menu, choose Equity.
  4. From the Detail Type drop-down menu, choose Owner’s Equity.
  5. Provide a name for your account.
  6. Enter an opening balance.
  7. Once you're done, click on Save and Close.

 

Then, let's create an expense from the owner's equity account. Here's how:

  1. From the + New icon, select Expense.
  2. Choose the bank account where your money will be withdrawn.
  3. Fill in the expense field. In the Account field, select the account you've created. 
  4. Click Save and Close.

 

For the transactions on your Banking page, you'll want to create them in QuickBooks and then match in the For Review tab. Doing so will ensure your records are accurate, and there are no duplicates. 

  1. Go to the Banking menu and then select the Banking tab.
  2. Click the transaction, then click Find Match.
  3. Find a match for the transaction.
  4. Click on Save once you're done.

 

I've added an article that'll guide you in reconciling your accounts. This helps make sure your accounts in QuickBooks match your real-life bank and credit card statements: Reconcile workflow in QuickBooks.
