Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Say that I buy supplies for my business using my personal card instead of my company card. The supplies are used only for business purposes. One week later, I reimburse myself for the supplies purchased.

 

In the above example, should I pay taxable income on the reimbursement?

 

IMO: To your point, a reimbursement by definition corresponds to an expense. If it didn't have a corresponding expense, it would be an owner's distribution and not a reimbursement. So it should always have a net-zero impact on income. TurboTax's system for entering reimbursements doesn't appear to do that in my view.
