I want to enter money as owners withdrawal or drawings, how do i do this?

Let me help you enter the money as owners withdrawal or drawings in QuickBooks Online (QBO), bevwilkes-hotmai.

 

An owner's draw account is an equity account used to track withdrawals of the company's assets to pay an owner. If you're a sole proprietor, we'll need to pay with an owner's draw instead of an employee paycheck. To create an Equity account just follow the steps below: 

  1. Click the Gear icon at the top.
  2. Select Chart of Accounts.
  3. In the Chart of Accounts window, tick New.
  4. From the Account Type drop-down, choose Equity.
  5. From the Detail Type drop-down, choose Owner’s Equity. S Corporations use the Owner’s equity to show the cumulative net income or loss of their business as of the beginning of the fiscal year.
  6. Enter an opening balance.
  7. Press Save and Close.

To write a cheque from an owner's equity account, just follow the steps below: 

  1. Click the + New Plus icon. 
  2. Select Cheque.
  3. Choose the bank account where your money will be withdrawn.
  4. Select Print later if you want to print the check.
  5. Fill in the check fields. In the Account field, be sure to select Owner's equity you created. The memo field is optional. It appears in the register, on printed checks, and on reports that include this check.
  6. PressSave and Close.
