The original transfer of funds from your personal account to the S-Corp should be recorded as the purchase of Stock. 

 

This increases your Shareholder Basis and is entered on the Shareholder Stock and Debt Basis Limitations Worksheet Line 2 for current year. This worksheet appears under Business Info >> Shareholder Information after you enter distributions (click Edit beside shareholder name).
