How to Reimburse Business Formation Charges to Personal Account

OptimumAnalytics · ‎May 25, 2022

I have recently formed an single-member LLC. During the formation process, I had to use my personal credit card to pay for business licenses, etc. I now have a business bank account and will be using that going forward. I have entered the transactions and categorized them as appropriate - here is a snippet.

How can I reimburse my personal account from the business account without having an issue of double-booking the expense? Or, is there a way I could classify the total amount as owner's equity or something along those lines?

Thanks for reaching out to the QuickBooks Community regarding this reimbursement question, @OptimumAnalytics.

I want to make sure you're able to record your transactions properly in the system.

QuickBooks Self-Employed doesn't have a Chart of Account (COA) unlike our other QuickBooks services. This means that Owner's Equity account is something not available in the system. If you want to record a reimbursement for your personal card, the Personal withdrawal category is your closest option. This way, QuickBooks will exclude the entry when calculating your business expenses.

I'll be sharing some links to help your way in QuickBooks Self-Employed:
