How do I categorize payments that are issued back to owners for expenses???

BGT1 · ‎March 09, 2022

Hello,

I am currently operating a Trucking business with 2 other partners. When we started, we were paying for expenses out of our pocket and then paying the money back individually once it's in the company account.

How do I categorize the transaction showing the money paid back to the individual owner out of the company's account? So far I have been categorizing it as Partner Distribution.

Also, how do we record a transaction that came out of our individual accounts for expenses to balance it out.

Regards

Since you are using a distribution to pay back the owner, that must mean the company is an S-corporation.

But there are no partners in an S-corporation

So in an S-corporation when you use personal funds to pay business expenses, that is a loan to the company. Then when you pay it back you paying down the loan

In a partnership, money you put into the business is an equity investment, and money you take out is an equity draw

Were setup as an LLC. So therefore money paid for expenses is Partner Investment & money paid reimbursed for expenses is Partner Distribution correct?
