How do I log a full balance statement payment made to a company's credit card with a personal checking account?

Hello there, jweeks25.

 

We can record the payment made to a credit card by creating a Journal Entry. However, it is recommended to seek guidance from an accountant before proceeding.

 

To begin, here's how:

 

  1. Click the + Create button and select Journal Entry.
  2. Select the Company Credit Card account in the first line. Enter the payment amount in the Debits column.
  3. Select the Owner's Investment or Owner's Equity account in the second line (for the personal checking account that is not linked in QuickBooks).The amount will automatically populate in the Credits column.
  4. Click Save and close once done.

How do I log a full balance statement payment made to a company's credit card with a personal checking account?

Hi, Thank you for that answer. 

I had seen that option and used it but the problem i am having is that I had paid the minimum payment to business credit card for 4 months prior to making the large payment, at this point balance had increased exponentially because of it, and there many purchases in a statement, there are also credits due to returns and minimum payments made to the card, so I am very confused on how to log everything in journal. I need to know if there is any other way of doing it. thank you!

Thanks for checking back with us, @jweeks25.

 

For this one, I recommend consulting with your accounting professional. Your accountant can advise the best way to handle the transactions based on your business needs. If you don't have an accountant, don't sweat it. You can find one here in our Resource Center

 

If there is anything else I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to let me know. Have a good one!
