The owner made a payment to an Non Employee Contractor using a personal credit card. 

 

How do I correctly set up a reimbursement to the owner as well as a record of a payment to the NEC (for 1099 tracking) without creating duplicate payments from the same checking account register?

 

Thanks so much,

-A

I'd be glad to help you record this transaction inside QuickBooks, @acvera.

 

 When you reimburse a personal expense, you can record it as a check or an expense. Here's how:

 

  1. Click + New and select Journal Entry.
  2. On the first line, choose the expense account for the purchase.
  3. Enter the purchase amount in the Debits column.
  4. On the second line, select Partner's equity or Owner's equity.
  5. Enter the same purchase amount in the Credits column.
  6. Click Save and close.

 

Then, you can either record it as an expense or check. Follow these steps to record it as an expense: 

 

  1. Select + New and click Expense.
  2. Choose a bank account to use to reimburse the personal funds.
  3. In the Category column, select Partner's equity or Owner's equity.
  4. Enter the amount of the reimbursement.
  5. Click Save and close.

 

To ensure the payments reflects on your 1099 NEC, check the expense account box that you use when creating the payment on 1099 preparation.
