I'm here to guide you in entering that transaction, Suz333.

 

You can create a journal entry using the Owner's Equity account to record the payment of the business credit card. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Company menu.
  2. Select Make General Journal Entries.
  3. Pick the appropriate expense account in the first line under the Account column.
  4. In the Debit column, enter the amount of the payment.
  5. You can select the customer from the Name drop-down.
  6. Choose Owner’s Equity or Owner Investment in the second line under the Account column.
  7. Click Save and Close.

Alternatively, you can create a cash clearing account and record payment of the business credit card to this bank account. After that, enter record a deposit to this false bank account, equal to the payment, posted from the Owner's Equity account. If the owner wished to be repaid,  you can post the said payment against the Owner's Draw account.

 

To learn more about recording expenses paid by the owner's funds, feel free to read this article: Pay for business expenses with personal funds.

 

Let me know in the comment section if you have any other concerns or further questions. I'll be around to help.
