How do I remove personal credit card expenses incorrectly showing on my business P&L (card is unlinked)?

Hi there, @judit.

I'd be glad to help you with your concern regarding personal credit card expenses incorrectly showing on your business P&L.

To begin, personal credit card transactions that are unrelated to the business should not appear in business reports, including the Profit & Loss (P&L).

These transactions are not considered shareholder activity either, as shareholder distributions generally refer to the withdrawal of business profits for personal use, not the mixing of personal expenses into business records. The most appropriate action would be to delete the transactions and remove the personal account entirely from your business financials in QuickBooks Online.

If maintaining a paper trail is essential, you can utilize the Audit Log in QuickBooks Online to review and document all changes made to your financial records.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions about QBO. We’re always here to help.

Hi @judit,

We’ll be glad to assist further if needed.

RE: The expenses are real transactions but should not be on the business P&L • I want them reflected as owner/shareholder activity (equity), not expenses

In that case, edit the charges and change the account to the appropriate Equity account.
