Retained Earnings account

Dearr Sirs, 

 

Will you please explain how to draw the amount from the retained earnings during the next financial year?

Retained Earnings account

It depends on what type of entity you are and what you did with the paper profits.  If you are a pass-through entity then you would record a journal entry on final day of fiscal year to move retained earnings into owner equity. what the owner does or doesn't do with the funds is immaterial since a pass-through owner can withdraw tax free more than his/her company makes in profit without penalty
