Hi -
I'm hoping someone can assist me. I took out a loan to purchase a small company. I have created the LT liability account and QBO automatically created the corresponding equity account that offsets it. The entire loan went directly towards the purchase of the company, so there was no deposit of any funds into any bank accounts.
I've now started making payments on the loan, but every time I try to record a principal payment for loan in QBO, the Liability account increases and the equity account decreases which doesn't seem right. I've gone though all the support documents I can find, but I must still be missing something.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I also suggest contacting your accountant to help you review the accounts. You can also find an accountant by clicking on this link: Find an accountant.
