I have a small business that I manage from my home office.
I have some home expenses that I wish to enter (split) as part private & part business.
i.e.
My internet access expense is 50% business use & 50% private use.
From my Downloaded Transaction, Split Transaction page, I need to enter my business part (50% - easy done), but cannot figure out how to properly add the private part (50%) so as the expense is added & calculated correctly.
e.g.
Internet bill per month $100 (AU)
Business use $50 (Expense)
Private use $50 (Not at all connected to, or relevant to, business expense)
Cheers
Gary
Assuming your business is taxed as a sole proprietor (sole trader) or partnership
code the personal 50% to owner equity drawing
Hi Rustler & thanx for your reply. Yes I'm a sole trader. Can you please expand on Owner Equity Drawing?
Where can I find this in QuickBooks?
Thanks for getting back to us, EZRiderAU.

You can record the personal portion of the expense to the owner draw account. If the company is paying a personal expense on your behalf that is considered a distribution to you and reduces your equity in the business.
