I originally thought that I could credit the Distribution equity account, and to balance that, debit the Cash in Checking account. However, this causes an increase in both accounts.
Since I wrote myself a distribution check from my business checking account, I somehow need to credit the Cash in Checking account, while at the same time crediting the Distribution account too.
I'm thinking that another equity account, or maybe a liability account must be involved to make this balance correctly.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
