CAR/TRUCK RENTAL EXPENSES

A couple of times, we have rented a truck or car/van to deliver our material when our truck broke down. Where should I enter these expenses, under Auto Expenses or Freight Out?

 

Thank you.

Hello @edith1006,

 

The car or truck rentals are recorded as an expense in QuickBooks. However, it's best to consult with your accountant to handle this accordingly.

 

Here's how to record an expense:

 

  1. Go to Banking, then Write Checks.
  2. Select a Bank Account from the drop-down, Pay to the order of.
  3. Choose the Expenses tab, and look for the "Auto Expense account" from the drop-down.
  4. Enter the Amount.
  5. Hit Save & New.

With these steps, you'll be able to create track of your expense properly. You can learn more about the chart of accounts at this link here: Understand the chart of accounts in QuickBooks.
