Owner's Draw on Self Employed QB

Hello,

I am a sole proprietor using QuickBooks Self-Employed and would like to set up Owner's Draw. I'm new to this, so unfortunately I've just been writing myself checks from my business account and depositing in my personal account. In other posts in the QB Community, I see that I should set up an equity account in the 'Chart of Accounts' in the gear icon.  However, I don't have a Chart of Accounts there. All I have are my Bank Accounts where I sync with my business checking and my business credit card.   All that shows up there is an option to connect another account.

So, how do I set up that elusive equity account?

Thanks in advance!

Hi there, KLPABE.

 

QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE) does not have a Chart of Accounts where you can set up equity accounts unlike QBO. This product is designed to track business income and expenses to help with your estimated taxes and Schedule C. 

 

You might want to select Personal withdrawal as a category for QBSE to track the transaction accordingly. Check out this article for more details: Transfers Owner's Withdrawal.

      Thank you so much for posting this with a screen shot! Migrated from QB desktop Retail version to simpl QBSE and couldn't figure this out. Your explanation came up in community help and made fixing this super simple. And you saved me money too boot! I was just aboput to upgrade to get a Chart of Accounts.

      Much thanks!
