Hello bport-salon,

 

You'll want to select No VAT or Exempt to get past the prompt. Let me guide you how.

  1. Click (+) Create.
  2. Click Expense.
  3. Enter your Category details, then choose NO VAT or Exempt (0%) in the VAT column.
  4. Click Save.

I've attached a screenshot for you.

Thanks for the reply,

1- isn't the contribution to be entered in negative? This is what i have seen on qb videos...

2- i am putting contribution in negative and what you have suggested to do is not being accepted.

I hope i am cleat, and thank you again...

Allow me to join the thread, @bport-salon.

 

Yes, the amount for the Owner's Contribution should be entered as negative to zero out the expenses. Also, be sure to select NO VAT under the VAT column so QuickBooks won't report taxes on your tax return.
