Interest Reserve Account (Auto-Debit)

Hi Guys!

 

Company A - loan $100,000 with interest reserve account. In my understanding, Interest reserve account is used to pay interest only. 

 

How do you record this in quickbooks online? and how to record monthly interest payment through interest reserve account?

 

Thank you in advance for your help!

Interest Reserve Account (Auto-Debit)

I've got the steps to record a loan payment with monthly interest in QuickBooks Online, Kris_Tine. 

 

You can record the loan payments by writing a check. I'll show you how: 

 

  1. Click + New, then select Check
  2. Add a check number if you plan to send an actual check. If you use direct withdrawal or an EFT, enter Debit or EFT in the Check no. field. 

 

Then enter the following in the Category details section of the Check: 

 

  1. Select the account you created from the Category dropdown from the first line to track loans. 
  2. On the second line, tap the expense account for the interest from the Category. Then enter the interest amount.
  3. Click Save and close

I recommend consulting with your accountant for additional guidance regarding this matter. This way, we can ensure the accuracy of your books. If you don't have one, use our Find an Accountant tool to look in your area.
