How to add prior auto loan payment to my new Auto Loan

williamspl

I just today (7/9) created a new auto loan account in quicken Premier Win10 but I made a first payment on 6/23.

How do I get this first payment properly registered in the new loan?

Many Thanks!

• @williamspl

• go to your checking account register (or wherever the payments were made from) and find the transaction for the prior payment.

• In the Category field, do a transfer to [Loan Account Name]. This links the payment to the loan.

• Then, Split the Transaction and allocate the amounts accordingly:

• Principal → Transfer to Loan Account

• Interest → Use a category like “Loan Interest”

• After entering the payment, check the loan account to ensure the balance reflects the reduction.

@williamspl sorry for the quirky formatting. I tried to add bullets and it didn't seem to work and now I can't seem to edit it.
