What is the correct way to add business expense reciepts in QB?

US QuickBooks Pro for Windows

I have business expenses; receipts that I've filed since 12/2008. I need to add the expenses to QuickBooks. Some purchases were paid with business checking, some with business check card and others with my personal credit card.

I  found  vague instructions online. I am looking for a simple and clear way to add my businesses expenses to QB before handing my finances over to my new accountant for review and tax prep.

So far I tried to add a new account via "Write Checks" but am unsure of the details I should enter. If my expenses are from 100 separate Vendors, should I create 100 separate accounts?

I also tried to add expenses via "Vendors / Enter Bills" but the option to select a vendor is there as well.

I'm hoping an expert can tell me the proper way to add expenses. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

The solution

Making these assumptions: your a sole prop or maybe LLC...you don't want to keep track or reconcile your cash accounts in QB..your business check card and checking are the same account.Try this:

Separate the expenses by method of payment before you start entering-Business Checking and Personal Funds. QB will reorder by date so don't worry about putting in order or anything

  • Use "Check Register" if you have a lot of receipts to enter, although "Write Checks" accomplishes the same thing in a more visual manner.
  • Choose Checking Account in next window.
  • Check the box in lower left that says 1-Line, this speeds up entry.
  • Start by entering date and check number or E, EFT, DB or something similar if check card was used. 
  • Enter a vendor name, "Name Not Found" screen will pop up. The "Quick Add" button should be highlighted so just hit enter or click it.
  • "Vendor" should be selected on the next screen, so hit enter again to okay or click it. That's it, they have been added. If you want to keep address info, go to vendor center and edit later.
  • Enter the expense account and the payment amount, hit enter to go to next line.

For expenses paid with personal funds: 

  • Create new Equity type account called Owner's/Member's Investment. Go to Lists>Chart of Accounts, lower left, click on Account button, then new
  • Double click on the newly created account to open it, check mark the 1-Line box
  • This works like the check register- enter date, number, vendor, expense acct, and the amounts in the "Increase" column.

This should get you started down the right path,  your accountant should be able to provide assistance if you want to track accurate checking account balances, will pay yourself back for personal funds, paid 1099 vendors or want to further utilize QB for your business needs.  Or search the community.

Hope this help, please mark as solved if I have answered your question or ask another. Thanks!
