Hello,
I have a Due to Owner (Other current liabilities) that I use to record personal funds used to pay for items for my trucking business. When funds are available, I write a check from the business account to reimburse myself. I usually want to make sure I reimburse before the beginning of the new year but this does not always happen.
Is it okay for the balance owed to me roll over to the next year or is there something else I should be doing if there is still a balance owed to me at the end of the year? Any suggestions or best practices is greatly appreciated.
Welcome to the Community space, @TruckingM.
I am here to share some insights about the reimbursement of your funds in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
If there's a balance owed to the owner that carries over to the next year, you have the option to reimburse yourself before the start of the new year or whenever sufficient funds become available. This provides flexibility and allows you to manage their finances in a way that suits their needs. Since QuickBooks will only depend on your tracking and how your company works.
Additionally, I suggest reaching out to your accountant so they can guide you accordingly about your reimbursement.
Moreover, I'm adding this helpful article as your reference in running reports in QBO: Run reports in QuickBooks Online.
Return to this post if you have other concerns about reimbursement in QBO. I'll be here to lend a hand.
If this is a sole proprietorship (SP) or an LLC taxed as a SP, you and the business are the same entity so you can't loan money to yourself. These funds should be recorded to your Owner's Equity account, not as a loan. I prefer just one single equity account called 'Owner's Capital'. Some people prefer to use two equity accounts - Owner's Contributions for money in and Owner's Draws for money out. Assign the money in to the appropriate equity account and the money out to the same account. If this is anything other than a SP, please advise.
My company is setup as a S-Corp.
