How should you show a deposit from a line of credit that is from another source, i.e., (owners personal) and not a line of credit opened by the company.

How should you show a payment made to that same line of credit from the company.

I've looked at QuickBooks help and there is nothing on lines of credit.

I would create an account called loan from shareholder LOC.

Dr Cash in bank
Cr loan from shareholder LOC

Make sure that there is documentation in the corporate minutes that talks about this money being furnished a a loan with a definite term, and interest rate. Create the loan manager in Quickbooks, the interest will be placed in the company as interest expense, and the principle will reduce the amunt on the loan and increase owners equity.

The interest deducted on the business will be counted as income on the shareholders personal tax return.

Thank you Sgbdad23.

I was thinking that maybe it should be as entered as a credit card.

I will set it up as Loan from shareholder LOC.

Your help is appreciated.
