Bills paid by partner, entered incorrectly.

US QuickBooks Pro for Windows : 2009

One partner in LLC paid some bills out of personal account, both prior to and after a checking account was established. In setting up QB, I entered the bills through Enter Bills/Pay Bills and showed them coming from the checking account. That gave the checking account a negative balance. So, I entered an owner's equity investment into the checking account. It has now occurred to me that I won't be able to get the checkbook to balance. In looking at other answers to similar question, I've decided I should have shown it as a sub-account of the Owner's Equity Account,and paid the bills out of that account. But, can you show bills paid out of an equity account? If you can do that, how do I correct the entries already made? I'm not very far in, and would like to figure out how to correct it before I enter anything on the actual checking account. Very simple answers, please. I'm not an accountant and my computer knowledge isn't much better.

First, back up the data file. Then, delete the bills/payments, etc. that you've entered. Then, you can enter a journal entry (Company>Make General Journal Entry) to record the amounts paid and post it to the Owner Equity account (or Due to Owner Liability account if it will be repaid).

If you are not that far in I would delete the bills and checks that paid them. I would then do the following journal entry (you are going to use the same expense accounts that you used for the bills)

Credit Owners Equity and debit the expense accounts. In the memo section I would make the following notation - to record bills paid from owners personal account.

Hope this helps

Jheerman -- the poster has already recorded the expense -- the problem is between the checking account vs. owner's equity. Your method would double the expense and not correct the problem. They could record a journal entry to

Debit checking

Credit owner's equity

Or the menthod I mentioned earlier--whichever is easiest.
