Transfer for household bills

Hi

 

Each month I transfer money from my business account to personal account to pay my household bills. It has been coming off my net income therefore lowering my tax as I've been using the transfer for household bills category. I'm now told this is incorrect. Who's right, me or them?

Transfer for household bills

Hello there, @Joe16389.

 

I'll share some information about mixing up your personal expense with your business account. You'll want to reimburse the company after you use a business account to pay for your household bills. 

 

To reimburse:

  1. Go to + New. Then, select Bank Deposit.
  2. Choose the Account to add the reimbursement to, and then the Date.
  3. In the Add funds to this deposit section, the Received From field, enter the person who made the personal expense then the account. 
  4. Pick a Payment Method and enter the reimbursement amount.
  5. Click Save and close or Save and new.

For more information about handling personal expense, check out these articles:

 

 

I also recommend consulting with an accountant to make sure everything is correct on your account.

 

Feel free to click this link if you need help with other tasks in QBO. It has topics with articles that'll guide you along the way.

 

Get back to me if you still have questions or concerns with your account. I'm always here for you. Have a great rest of the day.
