I am trying to find out how to loan myself, an officer of the corporation, money from the corporation in Quickbooks.

How do I set up this loan? It will be a short term loan if that matters.

Setup an asset account to track the loan - which is an asset to the company.

Then write a check from the bank account and use the loan account as the "expense" account.

If you'll be paying interest, enter the interest amounts as increases to the loan balance in the loan's register.
