If you are using the cash method of accounting (which most sole proprietors use), when you agree to purchase an item (a credit card purchase) you enter that expense to your business in that year. You cannot enter the entire credit card debt as one entry. Most business credit card purchases will be entered as expenses to your business. Some may be depreciating assets or improvements. The interest you pay on the business purchases are also an expense to your business.
