Buy nowHi guys. I am an S-corp owner (LLC based, single member.) Previously I paid for business expenses with my personal money; thus, to my knowledge, I should create journal entries to make an accountable plan and recorded as owner's equity. My questions are:
1) Can I just reimburse myself once a year at year end (also my company's fiscal year ends 12/31) with one single check that includes all purchases made throughout the year?
2) Journal entries: should the date of journal entry better be the same as the purchase date, or the actual date I created the journal entries?
Thank you.
I'm here to address your concerns, @highlands001.
Yes, you can create a journal entry as a Partner's or Owner's equity to record business expenses made with personal funds. Then, record the reimbursement as a check. It's essential to seek advice from your accountant during this process. For your reference, you can visit this article: Pay for business expenses with personal funds.

thank you so much. Another side question: can I also pay the S-corp Owner Health Insurance Premium once a year? I set it up as additional compensation that is reported in every paycheck (biweekly,) but I really don't want to write two checks every month for it.
Thank you.
