Hello there @academetg,
Let me share with you some ideas about tracking the business expenses with your credit card. You can create a credit card account in your Chart of Accounts, then connect it to your financial institution.
Let me walk you through the steps on how to create an account in your Chart of Accounts. Here's how:
- Go to the Gear icon, and select the Chart of Accounts tab.
- Click the New button to create a new account.
- On the Account Type field, choose the Credit Card option the same as for the Detail Type.
- Name the account, and enter a description in the Description box (Optional)
- Put a checkmark in the box beside the Is sub-account if you want to add a sub-account. Check out this link to learn more about the sub-account and parent account.
- Choose when you want to start tracking your finances by clicking the drop-down arrow in the When do you want to start tracking your finances from this account in QuickBooks box.
- Click the Save and Close button.
Once done, you can connect your account to your Bank Feeds so that it will help you automatically download and categorize your credit card transaction. Refer to this link for the steps on how to connect your account to bank feeds: Connect bank and credit card accounts to QuickBooks Online.
In case you'll need help downloading an older transaction from your bank, refer to this link for the steps: Manually upload transactions into QuickBooks Online.
