thanks for your time and the video its straight to the point! but now we know how to transfer to the owner equity account, but what is the transaction to record when i cash it out from the bank account
Are you asking about when you pay it back to the company? When you withdraw it you transfer to the owner's equity account. Let me know in more detail what you need and I hope to be able to help!
Thx for the info. Is there anymore to it? I do this and write a check. Been doing it for 3 years now and the balance has grown a bunch. Just asking to see if I need to clear it out or something at eoy. Thx again
Hi Nick, that sounds correct. The balance sheet shows all of the funds withdrawn since the beginning of time! You could offset it against your retained earnings (for example) as they are not retained after they have been withdrawn, or leave it, and have a clear picture of how much you have taken from your business, as the two accounts would offset each other in the equity total. I hope that makes sense!
How do you actually get the money out and into your bank account? This shows how to show the paper trail. How does one actually transfer the money out and into say a personal checking? Thanks
HI - I think you should discuss that with your bank - in theory you could write yourself a check, do a transfer of some sort, remove cash and deposit it - check what is easiest for you!
What are you paying the IRS for? If it is income tax you would record it as a tax expense, if it is an instalment as a debit to your taxes payable. Hope that helps!
Hi Courtney, if you write a check, then use the check function. Otherwise you can use either expense or transfer. The benefit of using transfer is that you will not be prompted for sales tax information - otherwise they both do the same thing!
Nice video..If the owner is taking money for own family expenses , can we show it as Managing Director Allowance account?Any implications for the same?
Hi Merin, I am not sure of any tax implications where you are. If the Managing Director is removing funds from the business that are not salary or dividends you can name the Owner's Draw account Managing Director Draw - I would be careful with "allowance" it may appear to be some sort of income and if it is not an "allowance" then it may raise some questions. Hopefully this answer was helpful to you!
Hi! It must be a debit balance - the Owners Equity shows up in the credit side of the balance sheet, so if the balance of the account was a debit (amount owed to the owner) it would appear as a debit. If that doesn't answer your question let me know - and I will re watch the video! Cheers
Thank you so much for the video, I have not known how to do this. Am I able to go back into last years QuickBooks and correct all the withdrawals so it shows as equity rather than an expense? I hope this question makes sense. By the way I hate numbers lol😂
Hi Shani! You can make changes to prior years - however, don't do it without checking with your tax accountant (if you have one!) if you have already used those numbers to file your taxes, you don't want to change them without checking first. If it is fine with them, you should now have a much clearer picture of how your business is performing! Cheers :)
HI Ricky, typically your year end accountant will give you an entry to prepare to offset to shareholder loan, or declare a dividend. Normally this is done' by journal entry (one of the few times journal entry is okay!) This is more of a tax planning solution, than a QuickBooks Online so other than how to do a journal entry it is not something I can advise on. Hope that helps!
I have a question. What if the owner that did a member draw then actually wrote a check to pay it back, how should that entry look like. Having trouble trying to figure it out on how to record it, since its not an inv event. Do you do it as a journal entry?
Are you asking how to move the actual funds from your business bank account to your personal bank account? If so, check with your bank, or online banking. I can only show you how to record the transaction.
Your tax accountant may allocate it to a shareholder account, dividends, or pay - depending upon your situation. Check with them before making any adjustments! Hope that helps.
I had a friend refund me in error to my business account instead of my personal account using Zelle option. How can I fix this please in a step by step so I’m not required to report this to the irs for taxes or anything?
Hi! I don't know anything about taxes or what the IRS would look at. If your friend gave your business money that is personal you could record it the same way you would record if you paid your own money into the business.
I'm so tired of looking for the answer to this question, no ones screen looks the same as mine and I have none of the options or drop down menus that are in this video. Literally nothing make sense it's like I'm using an entirely different program from everyone else.
Did you see this video: ruclips.net/video/_HwhpsSsUy4/видео.html QuickBooks Online recently changed the navigation menu and it is a bit of a nightmare. Hopefully this will help you.
Typically Owner's Equity refers to the section on the balance sheet, and would include contributions, profits etc, and the draw would be a part of it. Often categories are not correctly named, so it is possible it is the same for you - or maybe you need to add the Owner's Draw account/category to your Owner's Equity section - hope that makes sense!

thanks for your time and the video its straight to the point! but now we know how to transfer to the owner equity account, but what is the transaction to record when i cash it out from the bank account
in the Journal entry : should I Debt the owner equity and credit the bank account ?
Are you asking about when you pay it back to the company? When you withdraw it you transfer to the owner's equity account. Let me know in more detail what you need and I hope to be able to help!
Thank you for this😊
My pleasure - delighted I could help :)

My pleasure!
Thanks this was very helpful. I have a random question. How do I record an IRS payment on quickbooks online. This is a company with no employees
What are you paying the IRS for? If it is income tax you would record it as a tax expense, if it is an instalment as a debit to your taxes payable. Hope that helps!
What is the transaction type? The options are "Expense, Transfer, Check". Thank you!
Hi Courtney, if you write a check, then use the check function. Otherwise you can use either expense or transfer. The benefit of using transfer is that you will not be prompted for sales tax information - otherwise they both do the same thing!

Hello Kerry, Thank you for the teaching. I'm wondering why there is negative( -) in front of 500 of Owner's Equity? Thanks again.

Do you have a video on the year end close out of the owners draw account?
HI Ricky, typically your year end accountant will give you an entry to prepare to offset to shareholder loan, or declare a dividend. Normally this is done' by journal entry (one of the few times journal entry is okay!) This is more of a tax planning solution, than a QuickBooks Online so other than how to do a journal entry it is not something I can advise on. Hope that helps!

You could use the deposit function to categorize the amount to the owner draw account it was taken out of initially - I hope that makes sense!
what if we do not care to see the balance at any given time and would like to keep it at 0. Do we just periodically delete it all or what?
Your records would not be accurate - but you can adjust it to zero if you want to.
how do I now transfer the funds to my personal checking account
Are you asking how to move the actual funds from your business bank account to your personal bank account? If so, check with your bank, or online banking. I can only show you how to record the transaction.
Should I close this account at year-end to start it from zero the next year?
Your tax accountant may allocate it to a shareholder account, dividends, or pay - depending upon your situation. Check with them before making any adjustments! Hope that helps.
What is done if you have an LLC with 3 equal owners? All would need to receive an owner’s draw.
Hi Richard, you could create a separate owners draw account for each owner and enter their draws separately. Hope that helps!
Do S corporations need to pay quarterly estimated taxes?
You would need to check with your tax accountant on that question. I can help you record them if you do!

Is owner's equity the same as owner's draw?
Typically Owner's Equity refers to the section on the balance sheet, and would include contributions, profits etc, and the draw would be a part of it. Often categories are not correctly named, so it is possible it is the same for you - or maybe you need to add the Owner's Draw account/category to your Owner's Equity section - hope that makes sense!
Great but need a microscope to see it clearly.
