Setting up a new loan

Hello QB Friends, 

The company I work for was just bought. There is now a business loan in place. What is the best way to set up the loan in QB? Currently is it set up as:

 

Account type: long term liability

Tax-line mapping: B/S Liabs/Eq: S-T Mortgage/note/bond

 

Is this correct? 

 

Also, the payments are auto withdrawn from the operating account. In QB, it is posted by Transfer Funds from the operating account to the loan acct. In this case, I am not sure it will reflect the correct loan balance. 

 

TIA!

Setting up a new loan

Hi there, lpurcell. 

 

Yes, you can set up your new loan as a long term liability. For the tax-line mapping, you can reach out to your accountant on what to choose. 

 

After recording the payments using the Transfer Funds option, we can run both account's QuickReport to check the loan balance. We can also add the Debit and Credit columns to see the decrease. 

 

Let me show you how to pull that up: 

  1. In your keyboard, hit Ctrl + A to open the Chart of Accounts window. 
  2. Right-click on the loan account and select QuickReport
  3. Click the Customize Report button. 
  4. Under the Columns section, search and select Debit. Then, Credit afterwards. 
  5. Click OK

The customize report article will help you add or remove filters of your financial reports. 

 

Leave a reply below if there's anything else that I can help you with. Thanks!
