How can I record corporation is paying back the shareholder loan through a salary of $1,000 in QuickBooks after finished bank reconcile?

The corporation owes the shareholder $10,000. I also created an account for the shareholder loan for $10,000. Now, the corporation is paying back the shareholder loan through a salary of $1,000 per month in chequing account. How can I record this transaction in QuickBooks after finished bank reconcile?

I’d be happy to help you record the shareholder's loan payment and link it to your checking account in QuickBooks Online.

 

This process ensures that your financial records accurately reflect the repayment of the shareholder loan. Here’s how to do it:

 

  1. Go to the + New.
  2. Under Vendors, select Check.
  3. Please select the liability account you created for this loan from the Account drop-down list.
  4. Enter the amount of the payment. Then, add all the necessary information.
  5. Then, hit Save and close.

 

If you need to set up a liability account for a company loan from an officer, you can find guidance here: Tracking a loan from the officer or owner of the company.

 

However, if you want to record this on the finished bank reconciliation, I suggest consulting your accountant to seek advice on how to handle this so you can track the affected account properly within the reconciled month.
