ENTERING CREDIT CARD CHARGES QuickBooks lets you choose when you enter your credit card charges. You can enter credit card charges when you charge an item or when you receive the bill. Your choice depends on whether you like to enter information into QuickBooks incrementally or all at once. The advantage to entering charges when you charge an item is that you can keep close track of how much you owe. In addition, if the charge is for a particular job, you can keep track of how much you re spending on that job. To enter a credit card charge: 1.

WORKING WITH ASSET ACCOUNTS Note: The remaining sections are somewhat advanced. It may be advisable to consult with your accountant or tax professional for assistance dealing with these topics. An Other Current Asset account tracks assets that are likely to be converted to cash or used up within one year. If you buy and sell inventory, the value of all of your inventory on hand is usually shown in an Other Current Asset account called something like Inventory Asset. Other current assets might include treasury bills, certificates of deposit, prepaid expenses, prepaid deposits, reimbursable expenses, and notes receivable (if due within one year). A Fixed Asset account tracks assets your business owns that are not likely to be converted into cash within a year. A fixed asset is usually something necessary for the operation of your business, like a truck, cash register, computer, or photocopier. To set up an Other Current Asset account: 1. On the Home page, click Chart of Accounts. 2. Click the Account menu button, and then choose New. 3. Click Other Account Types and choose Other Current Asset from the drop-down list. 4. Click Continue. Seminar 4(b): Using Other Accounts in QuickBooks 10

5. In the Number field, type 13200, in the Account Name field, type Prepaid rent. 6. Click Save & Close. Notes Seminar 4(b): Using Other Accounts in QuickBooks 11

SETTING UP ASSET ACCOUNTS TO TRACK DEPRECIATION Fixed assets are equipment or property your business owns that are not for sale. Since they last a long time, you don t completely charge their cost to the year in which you buy them. Instead, you spread their cost over several years. But because fixed assets wear out or become obsolete, their value declines constantly from the day you purchase them. The amount of this decline in value is called depreciation. To set up asset accounts to track a new trailer purchased by Rock Castle Construction: 1. In the Chart of Accounts window, click the Account menu button, and then choose New. 2. Select Fixed Asset and click Continue. 3. In the Number Field, type 15150, in the Account Name field, type Trailer. 4. Click Save & Close. Notes Seminar 4(b): Using Other Accounts in QuickBooks 12

TRACKING A LOAN WITH A LONG-TERM LIABILITY ACCOUNT A Long-term Liability account tracks debts that your business is not likely to pay off within a year. The most common long-term liabilities are loans that you expect to pay off in more than one year. Tracking a loan with a long-term liability account: 1. In the Chart of Accounts, click the Account menu button, and then choose New. 2. In the Add New Account window, select Other Accounts Types and then choose Long Term Liability from the drop-down list. 3. Click Continue. 4. In the Number field, type 23150, In the Account Name field, type Trailer Loan. 5. Do not enter an Opening Balance. 6. Click Save & Close. Seminar 4(b): Using Other Accounts in QuickBooks 13

Because this is a new loan, you are either receiving money to deposit in your bank account or receiving a new asset. In this example, you received an asset (the new trailer), so you need to show an increase in the asset s Cost account. To record an increase in the asset s Cost account: 1. In the Chart of Accounts, double-click the 15150 Trailer. 2. In the Increase field, type 30,000. 3. In the Account field, select the 23150 Trailer Loan liability account. 4. Click Record. Seminar 4(b): Using Other Accounts in QuickBooks 14

5. Close the register window. 6. Close the Chart of Accounts. You can enter the Trailer on the Fixed Asset Item list. Tracking fixed assets using the Fixed Asset Item list enables you to record such information about an asset as purchase date and price, whether the asset was new or used when purchased, and the asset's sale price if you decide to sell it. You can also generate customizable reports listing all your fixed assets. To create a fixed asset item: 1. From the Lists menu, choose Fixed Asset Item List. 2. Click the Item menu button, and select New. Seminar 4(b): Using Other Accounts in QuickBooks 15

3. In the Asset Name/Number field, type Trailer. 4. Enter the following information to complete the Purchase Information section: o Item is: New o Purchase Description: Trailer o Date: 12/15/2018 o Cost: 30,000 o Vendor/Payee: East Bayshore Auto Mall Seminar 4(b): Using Other Accounts in QuickBooks 16

5. Enter the following information to complete the Asset Information section: o Asset Description: White trailer with company logo o Serial Number: 123456789 o Warranty Expires: 12/15/2022 6. From the Asset Account drop-down list, choose 15150 Trailer. 7. Click OK. 8. Close the Fixed Asset Item list. Notes Seminar 4(b): Using Other Accounts in QuickBooks 17

RECORDING A PAYMENT ON A LOAN When it's time to make a payment on a loan, use the Write Checks window to record a check to your lender. Assign part of the payment to a loan interest expense and the remainder to loan principal. To record a payment on a loan: 1. From the Banking menu, choose Write Checks. 2. In the Pay to the Order of field, type Great and then press Tab. 3. For the dollar amount of the check, type 500.00. 4. Click in the Account column on the Expenses tab and choose the 62420 Interest Expense: Loan Interest expense account from the drop-down list. 5. In the Amount column highlight the amount that QuickBooks prefilled and then type 225.00. 6. Assign the remainder of the expense ($275.00) to the 23150 Trailer Loan liability account. 7. Click Save & Close to record the payment. Seminar 4(b): Using Other Accounts in QuickBooks 18

When you record the transaction, QuickBooks automatically updates the accounts affected by this transaction: In your checking account, QuickBooks subtracts the amount of the check from your balance In the expense account that tracks interest, QuickBooks enters the interest amount as an increase to your company's interest expense In the Trailer Loan liability account, QuickBooks subtracts the principal amount from the current value of the liability (reducing the amount of your debt) Notes Seminar 4(b): Using Other Accounts in QuickBooks 19
