Just some food for thought - if you're an S-corp, you will likely come out ahead if you reimburse yourself for mileage use than if you lease the vehicle to the business. As long as it doesn't exceed $0.655/mile, mileage reimbursement is not taxable to you personally but is a deductible business expense. It's worth confirming with your CPA which option is better.

First, you'll need to set yourself up as a vendor in QuickBooks Online. We'll use this profile to track the payments made to that certain expense. You can also add special characters to the vendor's display name to make it easier to identify.
Here's how:
Once done, we can now create an expense transaction. To proceed, follow the steps below:
You can always set up a different account from your COA to manage your rental expenses. Just click on this link to view the entire procedure: Add an account to your chart of accounts in QuickBooks Online.
If your firm considers the rental vehicle to be regular and required, you can write it off as an expense. However, if you're referring to this as a lease vehicle, visit this article instead: How do I properly record lease payments?
Furthermore, I would advise speaking with your accountant to determine the best course of action for your company. Thus, we can maintain the accuracy of your books. If you have none, you can also seek help from our accountant through this site: Find an accountant or bookkeeper.
I'm always ready to lend a helping hand if you need more assistance with recording your expenses in QuickBooks. You can always get back to me whenever you have other concerns. Have a great day.
Ok, I'll do that but how do I pay my self from the corporation.?
