Hi,

The employee has paid his first loan and his second loan has been approved and paid. How do I record this loan?

chart of accounts, then new, in account type I select current asset ( I can't find other current asset ), in detail type I select loan to officers and save and close.

Is my process correct? Every time the same employee takes loan we have to create a separate account in chart of accounts. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Shuru,

 

If this is an amount you've loaned to an employee, you can use the current asset in the Account type field when creating a new account to track the loan amount.

 

Once done, you can set up a deduction category for the repayment if you're using the QuickBooks Online Payroll. If not, create an Expense transaction and use the account created to offset the amount.
