If you haven't set up a liability account, you need to do so to record the loan. Here's how:
- Open your QuickBooks Online account.
- Go to Settings , then select Chart of accounts.
- Click the New button to create a new account.
- From the Account Type ▼ dropdown, select Long Term Liabilities, then select Notes Payable from the Detail Type ▼ dropdown.
- If you plan to pay off the loan by the end of the current fiscal year, select Other Current Liabilities Account Type ▼ dropdown, then Loan Payable from the Detail Type ▼ dropdown instead.
- Give the account a relevant name, like "Loan for a car" or "Covid-19 relief loan."
After that, we need to record a repayment to pay back the loan. Here's how:
- Go to the + New button.
- Select Check.
- Enter the necessary details.
- Add a check number if you plan to send an actual check. If you use direct withdrawal or an EFT, enter Debit or EFT in the Check no. field.
- From the Category details section, select the liability account for the loan from the Category dropdown. Then enter the payment amount.
- On the second line, select the expense account for the interest from the Category dropdown. Then enter the interest amount.
- Once done, hit Save and Close.
