Setting up a loan

The owner of the company has a few payroll checks that have been uncashed. Instead of cashing them, he would like to put them into the company, and set it up as a loan to eventually pay back to him. How should I set this up ?

Setting up a loan

Hey there, @krucki

 

Setting up a loan only takes a few clicks.

 

Here's how:

 

1. Go to the Gear Icon and click Chart of Accounts.

2. Click New.

3. In the Account Type drop-down, select Long Term Liabilities. If you're going to pay the  loan off by the end of the year, click on Other Current Liabilities.

4. From Detail Type,choose Notes Payable

5. Enter a name for the account.

6. Type in the amount of the loan as a negative amount in the Amount field.

7. Click Save and Close.

 

Here's an article that shows you how to record the money you get from the loan, and how to record the loan payment: Set up a loan in QuickBooks Online

 

That's all there is to it! If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out.
