Welcome to the Community, @karen53.

 

You can create a recurring expense transaction for the car and rent payments. Before doing that, make sure to create an expense account the payments. Here's how:

 

1. Go to the Gear icon on the Toolbar.
2. Under Your Company, pick Chart of Accounts.
3. Select New.
4. In the Account Type drop-down, choose Expense.
5. In the Detail Type drop-down, select the type of account you want to create.
6. Enter a name, then hit Save and close.

 

I also suggest consulting your accountant for further assistance. After that, here's how to create an expense transaction:

 

1. Go the Plus icon, then pick Expenses under Suppliers.
2. Choose the Payee.
3. On the Category section, select the expense account you've created.
4. Enter the description and the amount.
5. Hit Save and close.

 

Once done, that should be added on your expense report.

 

To make it as a recurring transaction:

 

1. Go to the Expenses menu at the left pane.
2. Open the expense transaction, then click the Make Recurring option at the bottom.
3. Enter the template name and choose Scheduled as the Type.
4. Select the interval for the recurring transaction, the date to start template and when to end, and the Account.
5. Hit Save template.
