There are several payments I made on my personal account before I had my business account - please could you tell me if there's a way to add these without adding all of my personal account too? This is a joint account and I'd like to keep it separate

Hi bimbleswalkies-g,

I've got a way on how you can record the payments into your QuickBooks Self-Employed account.

You can manually add the items and then categorize them. Here's how:

1. Go to the Transaction menu and select Add Transaction.
2. Enter the amount and a brief description.
3. Click the Select a category hyperlink and organize your transaction.
4. Click Save.

Additionally, I've included an article about categorizing transactions in QBSE. This helps you ensure your books are accurate: Schedule C And Expense Categories.

Let me know if you have other questions about the categorization. I'll be around to help you out!
