How do I classify our investor?
Is our primary investor considered a vendor, customer, employee or other? I'm trying to set him up in qb to post the initial equity deposit. Please advise.

Hold the phone! What is the entity type? Is this an existing owner contributing capital? Or a new investor? If so, is this person buying stock in the company? And what percentage does this represent?
You would be best served to contact the accountant who will prepare the tax return. Once you determine all the above, you would create a journal entry and debit the bank account and credit the equity account.
