Recording federal taxes under the correct account and category is essential, and I'm here to lead you through the process, gail823802.

 

There are a few transfer categories in the program used when moving money between your business or personal accounts. You may choose from the following:

 

  • Owner's Deposit for adding personal money to your self-employment finances
  • Owner's Withdrawal is when you take money out of your self-employment finances for personal use
  • Credit Card Payment is only for credit card payments that are not business expenses since you're not buying anything

Since you utilized your personal credit union account to pay federal taxes, you may transfer it accordingly. Although the Federal Tax is usually tagged as Business, manually change the reimbursement to Personal.

 

Moreover, I highly recommend consulting an accountant to ensure the transactions are in the correct category. They can also share other ways to classify them accurately based on your situation.
