Welcome to the Community, jtb19nh2.
Let' set up a liability account first in QuickBooks Online (QBO). Youll be using this account to record loan and its payments. I'll guide you how.
- Go to the Gear icon and choose Chart of Accounts.
- Click on New.
- Select Long Term Liabilities from the Account Type drop-down arrow. If you plan to pay off the loan by the end of fiscal year, choose Other Current Liabilites.
- From the Detail Type drop-down arrow, select Notes Payable.
- Choose when you want to start tracking your finances from the ▼ drop-down arrow.
- Enter the full loan amount as a negative amount in the Amount field. Since the future payments to the bank are a liability for your business, the amount should be negative.
- Click on Save and Close.
Once done, you can record the loan with interest as an expense in QBO. For more details, check this article: Make a loan payment in QuickBooks Online.
