Hi I'm new to QBO  I have a monthly car payment to input. This has interest as well. There is around 6 months left to pay on this car loan and i have just took over as book keeper. Where do I start with balance b/f. Or will I do bill only to match bank statement. Many thanks. M

Monthly car payment

Assuming the car is titled to the company, and the debt is company debt.
You should have a liability account set up with the starting balance = to the amount owed.

 

Post your payment using that liability account as the expense (reason) for the payment

when you get the next bill in, it will show you how much of the payment was interest on the loan for that payment. Then do a journal entry, back date it to the date of payment, debit interest expense and credit the liability account for the amount of interest paid.

 

make the new payment and then rinse and repeat each month
