One purchase made on business credit card for personal use

Hi there, @ExecCap.

I'll share the steps on how you can record a personal expense from a business account. Before doing so, I recommend consulting with your accountant for advice.

For tracking the purchased items, you can create a check or expense.

Here's how:

1. Go to Banking > Write Checks.
2. Select the Bank Account, Cash Account, or Credit Card you used to make the purchase.
3. Choose the vendor's name from the PAY TO THE ORDER OF field.
4. Click the Expenses tab, and then choose the account category that fits your need.
5. Enter the amount of the purchase.
6. Hit Save & Close.

After the steps, you can reimburse the company by recording a bank deposit.

Here are the steps:

1. Click Banking located at the top and select Makes Deposits.
2. Select Cancel when you get the Payments to Deposit window.
3. In the Make Deposits window, select the account you want to put the deposit into from the Deposit to drop-down.
4. Choose the Date.
5. In the Received From field, enter the person who made the personal expense, then dd the reimbursement account. Tip: Add the person as a customer if they aren't in your books already. Even if they're not a customer, this is the best option.
6. Select the Payment Method and enter the reimbursement amount.
7. Click Save & Close.

I'm adding these articles for more details:

• Create, modify, and print checks.
• Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Desktop.

Please let me know if you need further assistance with other processes in QuickBooks Desktop. I'll be around to help you some more. 

Thanks for the quick response MaryAnn!

If I do not want to reimburse my S Corp from my personal account (to avoid co-mingling), can I just pay the credit card using my corporate checking account and categorize this specific $4,000 Amazon purchase as "officer distribution"?
