Insurance Premiums (2024)

‎March 22, 202110:41 AM

My client pays insurance premium for all his 1099 works in bulk and then deduct the insurance expense from their monthly payments. How do I record the deductions as income to the client. Even though he is paying upfront cost he is getting back in the form of deduction from their monthly invoice. Thank you.

I'm here to help you track the deduction as income,Simple Bookkeeping.

To do this, let's add another line in the check or bill transactions. Then, select the income account and enter the amount as negative.

I'd suggest following these steps if you'd like to create a check.

1. Go to the + New menu.
2. Select Check.
3. Choose the payee.
4. Under Category details, enter the details of insurance on the first line.
5. On the second line, select the income account, then enter the amount as negative.
6. Once done, click on Save and close.

If you'd like to create a bill, you can follow these steps:

1. From the + New menu, select Bill.
2. Choose the payee.
3. Under Category details, enter the details of insurance on the first line.
4. On the second line, select the income account, then enter the amount as negative.
5. Once done, click on Save and close.
