What is the proper way to record and categorize a personal credit card transfer to our business account and the a transfer back from the business account to the personal credit card? Would that be a owners draw or a short term loan or a owners equity/ owners draw situation?

Hello Criscross, 

 

Nice to see you in the QuickBooks Community! Here is a solution to record business expenses transactions made with a personal credit card. I highly recommend speaking with your accountant to verify this is the best practice for your business. 

 

First, let's create a journal entry by doing the following steps: 

 

  1. Use the Plus (+) icon, choose Journal Entry.
  2. Pick the appropriate expense account in the first Account column.
  3. In the Debit column, enter the amount of the transaction.
  4. You can select the customer from the Name drop-down.
  5. Select Owner's Equity or Owner Contribution in the second Account column.
  6. Click Save and Close.

 

From here, record the reimbursement and enter a check or an expense. For more information on how to pay business expenses with personal funds, this article is an excellent resource.
