Why did my "Owner's Contribution" expenses get rolled up into a "Journal Entry"?

I know how this situation impacts your business operation, especially in finances, insignia300. I'll give you further information about your expenses that have been removed from the owner's contribution.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), the owner's contribution expense account is typically used to record capital contributions made by the business owners to the company. When an expense is recorded to this account, it increases the equity on the balance sheet rather than impacting expenses on the income statement.

If someone is meddling with your Audit log, I suggest confirming what specific action should you take either to show deleted journal entries, recreate expenses, or re-enter expenses to utilize the Audit Log report to review the changes.

I'll show you how:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Audit log.
2. Choose Filter.
3. Use the fields on the Filter panel to choose the appropriate User, Date, or Events filter to narrow the results.
4. Hit Apply.

But if not, I recommend contacting our support team for further investigation.

1. From your QuickBooks account, go to the Help menu.
2. Choose to Contact Us.
3. Type in your concern, then click on Let's Talk.

Are you saying that you didn't use a journal entry to enter the expenses and corresponding increase in equity?  The screenshots you provided are perfectly acceptable for entering expenses that you paid for personally.

Yikes.  It's clear you don't understand accounting.  If you're not 100% sure of your accounting knowledge, why confuse your customer?  When an expense is recorded to Owner's Equity, it increases both the equity on the balance sheet as well as expenses on the income statement, which is what you want.
