Example - Our company, Company A, loaned $100,000 to Company B. Company B overpaid a principal and interest payment to us by an extra $20,000, and I have to put the overage amount into a QB account for "Reserve" prepaid interest. I have QB Desktop Pro Plus 2023. Do I create a liability account called "Prepaid Interest Reserve - Company B", and when it's time to use up some of that prepaid interest, debit that liability account and credit Interest Income?

Yes, the reserved money is more likely to be tracked with a liability account. However, I cannot confirm that, so I suggest seeking advice from an accounting professional to ensure your books are correct.
About using up the reserved money, you can record a journal entry, and yes, debit the liability account and credit your income account. It's also a good idea to monitor the liability account balance in the Chart of Accounts as you create transactions.
Speaking of loans, I want to include this article with steps for tracking company loans (your company) for your future reference: Manually track loans in QuickBooks Desktop.
