Auto loan at credit union increased balance for CPI insurance

Very complicated issue and I'm not sure how to enter this in QB (desktop/accountant edition). This is our personal business account. On 4/28/21 we took out a business loan for a Van for $26,468.29 with credit union. Entered correctly in QB. Made payments for 3 months at $510. All was well. Then on 8/27/21 credit union did a "Loan Advance for CPI Insurance" in amount of $692 (first month we had Van, it was parked at home as no registration was issued yet). They added this amount to our loan balance, which increased it. Monthly pymt was increased from $510 month to $569.43. We paid this increased amount one time. Then decided to pay off in full the principle of that added "Loan Advance" in the amount to $632.57. Payment went back down to $510. I have the Liability Account for loan, I have the Asset Account for Van. Question #1, How do I enter the "Loan Advance" to increase the loan balance, I can't seem to enter a sub-account under the loan liability for the insurance separately. Question #2, After I enter this increase I just make the different payments as usual in the Liability Register with the proper principle and interest expense, correct? I would really appreciate any help.

Auto loan at credit union increased balance for CPI insurance

Hello there, SandLin.

 

I'd like to share some information about adding an increase for your a loan balance in QuickBooks.

 

It's a good idea to setup a subaccount to keep track of specific accounts under a parent or main account. Just keep in mind, the parent and subaccount must be the same account type.

 

To add a subaccount:

 

  1. Go to the Lists menu, then Chart of Accounts.
  2. From the Account ▼dropdown, select New.
  3. Choose an account type, then select Continue
  4. Enter the account details.
  5. Tap the Subaccount of checkbox.
  6. From the Subaccount of ▼dropdown, select the parent account.
  7. Click on Save & Close.

 

Once you've set that up, you may may now check this article under Step 3: Record the loan amount for more information about adding the loan: Manually track loans in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

I've also added this link to learn more about the set up and guides in chart of accounts: Learn about the chart of accounts in QuickBooks.

 

Get back to me if your still have other questions or clarifications about it. Enjoy your day.

Thank you for answering. I know how to do that. This is not answering the question. I have since figured it out and it was not adding other Liability accounts.

Auto loan at credit union increased balance for CPI insurance

Hi, SandLin,

 

We had the same issue in our company.

 

The credit union increased the Principal balance by $2,248.00 as they did not accept the proof of insurance I provided. They later accepted it and reduced the amount by $1,201.00.

I do not know how to record this transaction in Quick Books.

Can you please let me know how you did it?

Thanks,

Flavio Carvalho
