Good day, blackwidowprints.

 

Paying yourself depends on the type of business structure you elect. QuickBooks offers two ways of compensating for yourself. It's either salary or an owner's draw. You can check this article to determine which is the right choice for you and your business: Salary vs. owner's draw: How to pay yourself as a business owner.

 

I also recommend reaching out to your accountant. They can provide you with the right information in paying yourself. 

 

Furthermore, you can read this link for additional reference: Set up and pay an owner's draw.

 

Keep me posted should you need further assistance. I'm always here available to help. Have a good one.
