How do I record an expenses that is owed to the company from an employee who used the company credit card for a personal expense?

An employee used their company card for personal charges. They turned in an expense report which I was deducting the personal charges from, however, their charges are more than the amount of their expense report.

How do I record an expenses that is owed to the company from an employee who used the company credit card for a personal expense?

A warm welcome to the Community, croyce. Let's get this expense recorded.

 

You can follow the steps below on how to record the expense in QuickBooks as well as reimbursing the company's credit card. 

 

Since the charges are more than the amount of their expense report, I'd suggest working with your accountant. They can help and guide on how to enter these amounts when recording the expenses.

 

Step 1: Record a personal expense from a business account:

 

  1. Click + New and choose Check or Expense.
  2. Select a Payee from the drop-down ▼ menu.
  3. Enter the Bank AccountCash Account, or Credit Card used to make the purchase.
  4. In the Category details section, select the drop-down menu ▼ to select the tax category that fits your need.
  5. Put down the Amount of the purchase.
  6. Hit Save and close.

 

Once done, you can scan through and proceed to Step 2 in this article to reimburse the company: Pay for personal expenses from a business credit card or bank account. 

 

Additionally, you might want to visit this write-up: Mixing business and personal funds. This will give you scenarios and links for the step-by-step process of handling personal funds in QuickBooks Online.

 

Feel free to drop me a line if you have any other QuickBooks concerns. I'll be sure to get back to you and help you whenever I can. Keep safe and have a good one.
