I cannot thank you enough for this video! I have been searching all week for this clear explanation and you gave one in LESS than 10 minutes! I apparently still needed to close out my books from 2020 before moving forward with closing out last year. This saved me a huge tax and audit nightmare! THANK YOU!!!!

Do you have a video for the 1120s for the Sch-K member distributions ? I recently been processing S-Corp 1120S but struggle with the negative member distributions. Also how did you learn all your knowledge?
Thank you so much! This is what I was searching for and found your video. Your explanation was useful for me to confirm the next steps I needed to take in closing out a owner's draw and owner's investment from 2020. The balances were growing and wanted to wait to find and pursue the correct steps. I handled this with 2 Journal Entries. The 1st was to close out Owner's Draw which showed a negative and another JE to close out Owner's Investment both moving to Retained Earnings. I still have a few more items to clean up on the Balance sheet and wanted to ask if the step I took on the following is accurate. There was a negative PayPal balance showing since I did not connect PayPal to QBO, rather I manually added this to the COA and there were a few deposits that I added through the bank feed; and to zero this one out I added a JE moving the negative balance to open balance equity account (I found this solution online). Then, added one last JE moving the new balance shown in open balance equity to each of the owner's equity at 50% since they are a partnership.

Thank you! This helps! Am I understanding this correctly? Net income and Owner Draw/Shareholder Distribution will both roll into RE on Jan 1 of the next year (Net Income-automatically and Draws-Journal Entry). Example- So if shareholders take an income distribution each quarter (S-corp) based on that quarter's income, essentially, the 2 will cancel each other out and there will be no change in RE?

This is what I do for S-corps every end of year.. I am wondering if we have to do this too for partnerships, disregarded entity or sole proprietorship.. I am hoping you will notice my comment and provide clarification. * I have subscribed to your weekly tips* :D

This video was super helpful but I have one question... We have been in business since 2016 but just started using QB in 2022. I have followed this to move amounts to Retained Earnings from Owner Equity Accounts. Do I follow the same thing to make my opening balance equity 0? It contains the opening balances of my bank accounts and credit card account entered when starting with QB last year.
Thank you so much for this valuable video . I have a question . I have a client that has two Quickbooks accounts , now I am cleaning the second account that started in 2021 and contain transactions only for 2021 , 2022 and 2023 of course . The problem is that 2020 is in the other account and obviously the 2021 retained earnings is blank. Do you think that I should extract the 2020 reports from the other QBO and add it into this other account ?. I don’t want to make a mess .

If it is a partnership, does each partner need their own retained earnings account? or just their own contributions and distributions and a combined retained earnings? I need a good partnership video
Hi, Yes, they each get their own "retained earnings". Check with your tax professional to see what they prefer you to call it. Have a great day, Samantha Team Candus

So. What I understood from your video is that the net income automatically closes into retained earnings each year. Then I went to QBO, looked at the balance sheet for 2022, and then at the January 1 balance sheet and there was no change in retained earnings. I am still confused.
I love this but when I tried to move the owner's draw into retained earnings, quickbooks wouldn't let me. It stated that you can't do this with two equity accounts?
Hi Bryn, I'm so glad you were able to figure it out! If you'd like to learn more about our program, you learn more here: ConfidencewithQuickBooks.com Have a great day, Sam, Team Candus
If operating on cash basis, technically my basis will start at 0 every year correct? unless i have retained earnings then whatever the retained earnings are, that would be my new basis for the year?

Um this is amazing!! Thank you for explaining. Question: for an S-corp, do I enter in a beginning retained earnings amount for the year prior to when they started using QB? We entered in all their liabilities beginning balances and assets. But what about retained earnings for the previous year?

I just discovered your channel. Thanks so much for this video! I just learned of the need to do this step and was preparing to make journal entries today for the end of each year to do so. However, I noticed that when I run a balance sheet for 1/1/2019 (our first day to rely on QB data) it shows a large negative number for retained earnings. Yet our 2018 data is incomplete and we didn't rely on QB for that year (we were just importing data). It seems like that number would skew our Retained Earnings for the following years...is that correct? If so, do you have any advice on how to fix this?
Yes, everything you entered can impact your retained earnings. You can check with your tax professional to see if it’s worth adding and adjusting transactions.
Hi Tani, Thanks for reaching out. Yes, the process would be the same. You can always confirm with your tax-professional if they want to change any of your accounts in your LLC.

Thank you so much! You explained this so well, and I was able to easily understand. I took 100% of the loss in my partnership, does this need to be deducted from my equity account?
Are shareholder accounts also closed to RE? Do you not need to track the shareholder's investment for S- Corps? A CPA told me to close RE to the shareholder's account.

In my Chart of Accounts, I cannot see the Retained Earnings. I don't know if this is a difference between the US and Canadian versions of QBO, but QBO won't allow a JE to Retained Earnings.

Opening Balance as o 12/31/2021 shows as -9,337.50 but 12/31/2020 as $5,000.00. Opening Balance Equity was changed back to $5,000 as of 12/01/2021. It would be more consisnt if the user or accountant doesn't change Opening Balance Equity. The video runs very fast. This is just my thought watching your video. Thank you for the video.

There was a negative PayPal balance showing since I did not connect PayPal to QBO, rather I manually added this to the COA and there were a few deposits that I added through the bank feed; and to zero this one out I added a JE moving the negative balance to open balance equity account (I found this solution online). Then, added one last JE moving the new balance shown in open balance equity to each of the owner's equity at 50% since they are a partnership.

Should I close out all equity accounts to RE at the end of the year? For example I have balances in Estimated Taxes and Opening Balance Equity in addition to my Owners Dist/Contribution accounts.

Thank you! This helps! Am I understanding this correctly? Net income and Owner Draw/Shareholder Distribution will both roll into RE on Jan 1 of the next year (Net Income-automatically and Draws-Journal Entry). Example- So if shareholders take an income distribution each quarter (S-corp) based on that quarter's income, essentially, the 2 will cancel each other out and there will be no change in RE?

Thanks, we have been struggling with this issue.
I have a question. Since I have not been making these closing entries for the time we have been using QB Online, 3 years, how do I catch up? Year by year or just one adjusting entry?

This is what I do for S-corps every end of year.. I am wondering if we have to do this too for partnerships, disregarded entity or sole proprietorship.. I am hoping you will notice my comment and provide clarification. * I have subscribed to your weekly tips* :D
I followed your example to a t but when I run the balance sheet for the next year. It still shows the owners draw. What am I doing wrong?? Help!!

This video was super helpful but I have one question... We have been in business since 2016 but just started using QB in 2022. I have followed this to move amounts to Retained Earnings from Owner Equity Accounts. Do I follow the same thing to make my opening balance equity 0? It contains the opening balances of my bank accounts and credit card account entered when starting with QB last year.
Thank you so much for this valuable video . I have a question . I have a client that has two Quickbooks accounts , now I am cleaning the second account that started in 2021 and contain transactions only for 2021 , 2022 and 2023 of course . The problem is that 2020 is in the other account and obviously the 2021 retained earnings is blank. Do you think that I should extract the 2020 reports from the other QBO and add it into this other account ?. I don’t want to make a mess .

If it is a partnership, does each partner need their own retained earnings account? or just their own contributions and distributions and a combined retained earnings? I need a good partnership video
Hi,
Yes, they each get their own "retained earnings". Check with your tax professional to see what they prefer you to call it.
Have a great day,

What about the opening balance equity. Are we supposed to move that into retained earnings also?

So. What I understood from your video is that the net income automatically closes into retained earnings each year. Then I went to QBO, looked at the balance sheet for 2022, and then at the January 1 balance sheet and there was no change in retained earnings. I am still confused.
Thanks for the clairfication.
You're very welcome 🤗
I love this but when I tried to move the owner's draw into retained earnings, quickbooks wouldn't let me. It stated that you can't do this with two equity accounts?
Wait-got it!
Hi Bryn,

If operating on cash basis, technically my basis will start at 0 every year correct? unless i have retained earnings then whatever the retained earnings are, that would be my new basis for the year?

Should I also close out the opening balance equity account?
Hi Kay,
Thank you for reaching out.
Yes, Candus typically does that at the end of every year.

Um this is amazing!! Thank you for explaining. Question: for an S-corp, do I enter in a beginning retained earnings amount for the year prior to when they started using QB? We entered in all their liabilities beginning balances and assets. But what about retained earnings for the previous year?

I just discovered your channel. Thanks so much for this video! I just learned of the need to do this step and was preparing to make journal entries today for the end of each year to do so. However, I noticed that when I run a balance sheet for 1/1/2019 (our first day to rely on QB data) it shows a large negative number for retained earnings. Yet our 2018 data is incomplete and we didn't rely on QB for that year (we were just importing data).
It seems like that number would skew our Retained Earnings for the following years...is that correct? If so, do you have any advice on how to fix this?
Yes, everything you entered can impact your retained earnings.
You can check with your tax professional to see if it’s worth adding and adjusting transactions.
What if the company is a single member LLC, would the process be the same? Thanks
Hi Tani,
Thanks for reaching out.
Yes, the process would be the same. You can always confirm with your tax-professional if they want to change any of your accounts in your LLC. It will depend on if you elected to file in S-Corp.

Why does opening balance equity is negative?
Thank you so much! You explained this so well, and I was able to easily understand. I took 100% of the loss in my partnership, does this need to be deducted from my equity account?
I can't give tax advice 🤓 Please check with your tax professional.

Are shareholder accounts also closed to RE? Do you not need to track the shareholder's investment for S- Corps? A CPA told me to close RE to the shareholder's account.

In my Chart of Accounts, I cannot see the Retained Earnings. I don't know if this is a difference between the US and Canadian versions of QBO, but QBO won't allow a JE to Retained Earnings.

Candus, will the "opening balance equity", always stay the same? Or will it be reset each year?

Opening Balance as o 12/31/2021 shows as -9,337.50 but 12/31/2020 as $5,000.00. Opening Balance Equity was changed back to $5,000 as of 12/01/2021. It would be more consisnt if the user or accountant doesn't change Opening Balance Equity. The video runs very fast. This is just my thought watching your video. Thank you for the video.
