Accounting, Payroll & Pension Issues - paying yourself from LLC


Expert: Vanessa Powell - 9/24/2009

Question
When paying yourself, what account to you put it under?

Answer
It depends on a couple of things.  If the LLC is organized as, essentially, a partnership (the most common form- you would file a form 1065 for tax purposes), then it would be a draw to a member when they are paid.  So it's an equity adjustment, the actual account depending on how your equity section is set up.  If you have a draw account, it would go there.  If you don't, and simply have an equity account for each partner/member, then it would be debited against that.

Hope that makes sense.  Best of luck to you!
