I accidentally paid a personal charge from my business bank account when using Venmo.  What specific steps must I take to reimburse our business bank account from my personal bank account and zero out that accidental payment?

Accidental personal payment from business account

Welcome to the Community, David L 3.

 

I understand things can go wrong sometimes, and I'm here to help you record the reimbursement for your business account from the personal charge it paid for.

 

First, record the personal expense. Here's how:

 

  1. Click the +New button.
  2. Select Check or Expense.
  3. Choose a Payee from the dropdown menu.
  4. Enter the Bank/Cash Account or Credit Card you used to make the purchase.
  5. Fill in the Category details section with the tax category that fits your need.
  6. Enter the Amount of the purchase.
  7. Click Save and close or Save and new.

 

Then, record the reimbursement. Here's a step-by-step guide on how:

 

  1. Click +New, then Bank Deposit.
  2. Select the Account to add the reimbursement to.
  3. Choose the appropriate Date.
  4. On the Add funds to this deposit section, enter the person who made the personal expense and the account in the Received From field.
  5. Pick a Payment Method and enter the reimbursement amount.
  6. Click Save and close or Save and new.
