I can guide you through recording your car loan, @accounts-america.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), we can set up a liability account to track the loan and its payments. This account will track what you owe and I'm glad to guide you through the process.

First, let's set up a liability account to record what you owe:

1. Go to the Gear icon then select Chart of accounts.
2. Click on New to create a new account.
   
   
    
3. Select Non-current liabilities in the Account Type ▼ dropdown. If you wish to pay off the loan by the end of the current financial year, choose Current Liabilities instead.
4. Select Notes Payable (or Loan Payable) in the Detail Type ▼ dropdown.
5. Give the account a Name. You can go for a "Car Loan" or whatever you want to name it.
6. Enter the Unpaid balance. In this section, I'd recommend entering the full amount of the loan and we'll just record the advanced payment in the later steps. Choose when you start tracking your finances.
7. When done, hit Save and Close.

Now, let's record the money you got from the loan:

Then, you can now record the amount you got from the loan. Refer to the steps below:

1. Select the + New button.
2. Choose Journal entry.
3. From the first Account dropdown, select the liability account you just created.
4. Select the bank account on the second line. Please know that this instruction is only possible if you put all the loan amounts right into your bank. Otherwise, you’ll need to reach out to your accountant for assistance.
5. Enter the same amount in the Credits and Debits column, then save.
