I am a one person self-employed business. How do I categorize when I take profits? Mainly as a bank transfer between my business general operations bank account to my personal checking account to pay my monthly personal expenses like mortgage, utilities, etc. I want to make sure that this is not being counted as an expense or negative income. Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
When you take money or value from the business for personal use as a sole proprietor, that is an equity draw. Use that account as the expense (reason) for the payment/withdrawal.

Thank you! For description then I have been writing: "Equity income transfer to owner personal account". Something like that sufficient? Also, do I list myself by individual name as payee or leave that blank?
I have the same question, however, because I am pretty much clueless, I am not following what you mean when you say "use this account". Can I create a "tag" and label it "Equity draw" as you refer to in your message. And then every time I go to transfer $ from this account that is linked to my Quickbooks to my personal checking account it will show it as.....? I'm confused.
Did you figure out the answer to this? I am in the same situation and also find the wording confusing!
