Question

Hi everyone! I just stared a freelance landscape design business to earn some additional income. I am using Quickbooks Self-Employed. I have formed a single owner LLC and opened a dedicated business back account for all business income and expenses and to track the amount of quarterly tax owed for what I generate (Which I have linked to my QB Self-Employed Account. My question is how do I go about making my Owners Draw in QB Self-Employed to pay myself for the work and how would I go about entering that in so I do not affect the quarterly taxes owed? (I will be using Zelle to make a payment from the business account mobile app to my separate personal account with a different bank)

 

Thank you so much for your help!

Thanks for choosing QuickBooks Self-Employed to handle your business, renders. 

 

I'm here to ensure you're able to set up the draw in your account correctly. 


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

 

To track the owner's draw, I'd recommend selecting Personal withdrawal as a category in QuickBooks Self-Employed. For visual reference, please see the screenshot below.

 

For more details about the process, please see this article: Transfers Owner's Withdrawal.

 

Also, you can always run the business and personal expenses report to review all the data you've entered on your Personal withdrawal. I'll show you how:

 

  1. Go to the Reports tab.
  2. Go to the Business and personal expenses section.
  3. Modify the date.
  4. Click View.

 

Once done, we'll have the option to either Print or Download it. To do so, please make sure to click the icon.

 

Please let us know if you have additional questions or concerns about tracking and managing your transactions. We'll make sure we provide the help you need.

Hello, My personal withdrawals are not showing up in any reports. I have marked the transactions as Personal Withdrawals. When I view the Business and Personal Expenses report there is no line item for Personal Withdrawals, nor is there any line item for transfers.

I'm here to clarify why personal withdrawals aren't appearing on reports in QuickBooks Self-Employed (QBSE), Kaiwuzheer.

 

Before that, we'd appreciate it if you could provide a screenshot of the Business and Personal report you're referring to so we can visualize the issue and provide a more accurate response.

 

In QBSE, the Personal Withdrawals category won't appear on the Profit and Loss, Tax Summary, and Tax Details reports since it doesn't count toward income or expenses.

 

If you want to view the list of your transactions categorized as Personal Withdrawals, I recommend filtering the entries on the Transactions page. Here's how:

 

  1. Go to the Transactions menu.
  2. Select the Type dropdown.
  3. Click Transfer.

 

Moreover, I'll share these articles to assist you with filing your QBSE taxes:

 

 

Reach out to us if you need further assistance with categorizing your transactions. We'll be happy to respond and provide answers to your questions. Keep safe.
