Recording split loan proceeds

I need help with recording loan proceeds in Quickbooks Desktop Pro 2020 when part of the proceeds were used to payoff 2 current loans.  The bank took care of the 2 loans so the dollar amount needed for them was subtracted from the total loan amount and the remainder was deposited to our checking account.  Just for the record, we did not purchase anything - it's strictly a refinance.  The only thing I've done so far is create a liability account for the new loan.  When I record the amount that went into our checking, what G.L. account should I use to offset the deposit?  Since the bank used some of the proceeds to pay off the 2 current loans we have with them, what is the best way to record those payoffs?  I want to make sure I use the correct G.L. accounts for everything!

Recording split loan proceeds

An example may help.  Assumptions

Loan 1 liability = $10k

Loan 2 Liabilty = $20k

New loan         = $50k

 

Deposit to bank = $20k and the three line items in the deposit are:

 

New loan +50k

Old loan1 -10k

Old loan2 -20k

Net deposit = 50-10-20=20k

 

Use your numbers. New loan minus payoffs equals net deposit
