How do I record a return on capital dividend (tax free)? (My corp bought some shares and that company is returning some of the capital to shareholders).

Hey there bbergerman,

Welcome to the QuickBooks Community! Thanks for reaching out to us here. QuickBooks Online is a great software to have. It helps keep your books balanced. Making sure you're recording your transactions properly is an essential step for maintaining clean books. I can point you in the right direction.

 To ensure accuracy in your books, I recommend reaching out to an accounting professional for expert advice on creating these types of transactions. They'll be able to guide you in choosing the correct transaction type as well as which accounts to affect so that your accounts can end up with the right balance. You can add your accountant to your books by going to the My Accountant tab of your QuickBooks account. You can also find an accountant that has experience using QuickBooks near you by clicking on the Find a pro to help option in that section.
