Hello @Nids,

 

Thank you for posting here in the Community. Let me help you clear the balance in QuickBooks.

 

I recommend you perform some basic troubleshooting to clear the balance. You can start by reviewing the payments and making sure you selected the right accounts under the Category section.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon in the upper-right corner and select Chart of accounts.
  2. Search for the account, then press View register1.JPG
  3. Edit the payment.
  4. In the Payee field, select or enter the name of the financial institution.
  5. Select the bank from the drop-down list in the Bank Account field.
  6. In the Category details section, select Line of Credit from the Category Type field.
  7. Enter the amount you want to pay down the principal.
  8. In the Category details section, select Interest paid from the Category field and enter the amount you want to pay down the interest.
  9. Select Save.

Also, please ensure the payment date of the transactions is correct. This way, the system will be able to zero out the balance in QuickBooks.
