Join nowI am doing a journal entry to an already existing account. I know the credit side is to the account but not sure what account to debit. It is a long term liability account and I am adding to the long term liability so I am crediting the account but what do I debit? Anyone help me with this? Thank you
Cheryl
If you are adding to the liability, that means you borrowed for some reason. The account that gets the debit is the reason for the increase in liabilities. I would guess you bought an asset, or borrowed money (banking)
Th debit would be to the account for the asset you acquired when taking on the additional debt.
It is a credit card debt that is owed and I just added another credit card balance to the account so what would the debit be if the credit is to the long term liability? The account is a long term liability account labeled Investors payable credit card and I just added to it with a journal entry.

What was charged to the credit card to create the debt? That would be your debit.
It is an old credit card debt that is now going to be paid back so what the credit card was used for is a multiple of things that I don't know so what do I do then?
