I sold my vehicle for $8,000, used that money as a down payment on new vehicle, how do I record this?

Hello guys,

 

I am a one man show. I sold my vehicle for $8000. I deposited that in the bank and immediately got a cashiers check for $8000 to give to the dealership for down payment. Both vehicles are used for business and personal (not sure if that matters). 

 

How do I record the deposit and cashiers check in my bank feed?

How do I set up the vehicle in QB to show payments that I am making monthly?

Hey there, @delenayoung14.

 

I hope you're having a great week. You can record deposits, and cashiers checks in your bank feed in QuickBooks Online. This will allow you to record the bank deposit from selling your car and the cashier's check you got from the bank. Here's how:

 

Record Deposits:

  1. Go to the +New button and select Bank Deposit.
  2. Choose an Account and a Received From account and enter the deposit amount.
  3. Press Save and Close.

 

Record Cashier Checks:

  1. Navigate to the +New button and hit Expenses.
  2. Select a Payee, and an Account the purchase the cashier's check is from.
  3. Fill in the Ref. Number, Date, Amount, and Memo fields.
  4. Under Account Details, choose the expense account associated with your purchase.
  5. Click Save and Close.

 

That's all there is to it. You can also check out this article for more information: Record a purchase, payment, or bill using a cashier's check. As for the car payment, I recommend reaching out to your accountant for the best way to record it.

 

Feel free to drop a line below if you have any other questions. Enjoy the rest of the week!
