Hello, jessica-sturm. You've come to the right place. The Community is here to help.
You can record and track a line of credit by creating an account for the principle and one for interest. Once everything has been entered in your books, you'll be able to track what you pay back to your bank or creditor when a payment is made. Below are the steps to set everything up.
Create a principle account:
1. Go to the Gear (⚙) icon, then Chart of Accounts.
2. Hit the green New ▼ button
3. In the Account Type ▼ drop-down menu, use the Other Current Liabilities option.
4. For the Detail Type ▼, choose Line of Credit.
5. You can change the account name if you'd like to.
6. Select Save and Close.
Create an expense account:
1. Click the Gear (⚙) icon, then Chart of Accounts.
2. Use the New ▼ button to begin creating a new account.
3. From the Account Type ▼ dropdown, pick Expenses.
4. Under the Detail Type ▼ area, select Interest Paid.
5. Enter a name for the account if you'd like to manually title it.
6. Hit Save and Close.
Now you'll have the proper setup to document your line of credit accordingly.
To make a record of the disaster relief funds you received from your bank, you can set up a grant account. Here's how:
1. From your Chart of Accounts, open the account creation window by using the New ▼ button.
2. Choose Other Income for the Account Type ▼.
3. Pick Other Miscellaneous Income for the Detail Type ▼.
4. Designate a name for the account if you'd prefer to.
5. Use the Save and Close button to finish.
Now your grant will have a place to be documented in your QuickBooks account. To input the funds, you can use the Plus (+) icon and then select Bank Deposit under the Other section. In the window that displays, you'll be able to fill out the form and make an entry in the account you created for it.
