    @Bonzai5150,
    Step 1 - Add an asset under Depreciation and Amortization - Start Up Costs
    While here you might as well add an accumulated amortization account. Accumulated Amortization
    Next step - you'll have to know how these costs were paid. If they came from the owner, then 2 options. Same debit either way
    Debit Start Up Costs
    Credit either owner equity or owner loan if they were funded by the owner
    Second option - If they were paid for by the business checking then categorize the transactions as Start Up Costs.
    Hope that helps.
