I am self-employed and contribute to a pension. How do I record the payment in Quickbooks? It's not a "business expense" but I need to record/identify it for tax relief.

I'm here to help record the payment in QuickBooks, rosie-scott.

Before we start, I can see that you've tagged this post under QuickBooks Online. If you're currently using QuickBooks Self-Employed, you need to correctly categorise the payment to ensure your estimated taxes are accurate.

Let me guide you with these steps:

1. From the Transactions page, tap Add transactions.
2. Enter a description and AMOUNT.
3. Under the CATEGORY column, select the right one needed for your self-employment tax deduction.
4. Click Save.
