I want to know how to record a payment to owner for rent (home office)

You have me to help record rent payments, SArchitects.

In QuickBooks Online (QBO), we can generate an expense entry to track the payment. Then, allocate it to the account designated for tracking rent expenses. Let me guide you through the steps.

1. Go to the +New button.
2. Under Suppliers, select Expense.
   
3. Choose the payee from the drop-down arrow.
4. Select the category.
5. Enter the description and amount.
6. Hit Save and close.
   

I'm adding this link for more details about entering expenses: Enter and manage expenses in QuickBooks Online.

I'm still around if you need more help recording your rent in QuickBooks. I’ll be right here ready to lend a helping hand. Enjoy the rest of the day, SArchitects.
