My boss asked me to do this:

Please wire funds from Acct A (came in as profit) to Acct B (same company as account A) then wire those funds in Account B to Account C (different company) as a distribution.

 

So, i will categorize as follows:

income-->account A-->loan btwn account to account B-->distribution to account C-->??

How would I categorize the incoming funds from the distribution to account C?

Your question was answered here:

To recap, just record the wire between A and B as a transfer (New > Transfer) for the same company.  There's no loan and this has nothing to do with income - it is just a transfer between two bank accounts.  As far as how to record the payment made from B to C, you will need to know what business entities both companies are.  Are these S-corps (100% owned), sole proprietorships, or a combination thereof?  If they are 100% owned S-Corps, the payment from B is a Shareholder Distribution and, in C, it is recorded as a Shareholder Contribution.
