What is structure of your business? Sole proprietorship? Single member LLC? Multi-member LLC? S-Corp? C-Corp? Partnership?
What precisely did the business "pay back" to you? A qualified loan that you made to the business? Maybe it was a return of investment in the business? Something else?
I doubt I can help, but you never know. But with more details you'll have a better chance of getting a response from someone who can help, if I can't.
