Journal Entry for a loan

Good day, NeeNee2022. 

Let me make it up to you by ensuring you'll be able to record a loan in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

To start tracking loans, we'll have to set up a liability and expense account for the loan and interest payments, respectively.

1. Go to Accounting on the left panel.
2. Within the Chart of Accounts tab, select New to create a new account.
3. In the Account Type drop-down arrow, select Long-Term Liabilities. From the Detail Type drop-down, select Notes Payable.
4. Then, Save and close.

After that, you'll need to create a check for the loan. I'll show you how:

1. Click the + New button, then select Check.
2. Choose a Payee, a Payment date, and a Payment method.
3. From the Payment account drop-down menu, select the bank account.
4. From the first line, from the Category dropdown, select the account you created to track loans.
5. On the Amount field, enter the loan amount.
6. Click Save and close.
