Recording capital investments

When you or a business partner invests personal money in your business after your QuickBooks start date, you assign the amount of the investment to an equity account.

To record a capital investment:

  1. Choose Banking > Make Deposits.
  2. If QuickBooks displays the Payments to Deposit window, do one of the following:
    • Select the payments you want to deposit along with your investment check.
    • Click Cancel to deposit the investment check by itself.
  3. In the Make Deposits window, choose the bank account into which you're depositing the money.
  4. In the detail area, enter the name of the person whom you received the money from and the amount of the investment.
  5. In the “From account” list, choose the appropriate equity account.
