Thanks for coming back. Let me help you record where your owner purchased and paid for a truck before opening his business in QuickBooks Desktop, Longoriasbuilding.

 

Since they purchased it with personal funds before opening the business, we can use a journal entry to record the business expenses using personal funds. You can follow these steps:

 

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

 

Once done, let's create a check for reimbursement. Here's how:

 

  1. From the Banking, click Write Checks.
  2. Select the business bank account in the BANK ACCOUNT field.
  3. Enter the necessary details. Go to the Expenses tab and enter the Partner's equity or Owner's equity in the ACCOUNT column.
  4. Enter the amount you want to reimburse.
  5. Tap Save & Close.

 

If you're unsure of what account you need to when creating the journal entry, please reach out to your accountant. They'll guide you and ensure you're tracked accurately inside the program. In case you don't have one, just visit this page to get one: Find a QuickBooks ProAdvisor.
