An employee bought something for themselves personally using the company credit card. She gave me a check to cover the purchase. I deposited the check and brought it into QBO through the bank transfer. How do I record that check.

I can show you how to record your business expenses using your personal bank, LeighAnn.

 

When you reimburse a personal expense, you can record it as a cheque or an expense. First, you'll have to record the business expense you paid for with personal funds using a journal entry. I'll show you:

 

  1. Select + New and click Journal entry.
  2. On the first line, select the expense account and amount on the Debit side for the purchase.
  3. On the second line, select Partner's equity or Owner's equity and the amount on the Credit column.
  4. Select Save and close.

Then, you can follow the steps in this article for more details if you choose to record the personal expense through a cheque or expense
