To avoid mixing business and personal transactions, looch recommends using your individual bank account for personal use. However, business accounts are sometimes used for personal transactions. The personal tag informs looch that you used your business account for personal purposes. looch will use logic to keep your books tidy.
The personal tag can be found in the tag bar, at the bottom of the received money and spent money transaction screens. This tag toggles on and off. Depending on your entity type and tax treatment, looch will categorize personal transactions differently.
Sole proprietors
The personal tag will use the Non-Posting (1095) category to reconcile any transaction. looch will ignore this category when running any business report.
LLCs & general partnerships
Owners
The personal tag will use the Invested Capital category in your Owner's Equity Group (3000), under Equity, to reconcile received money transactions.

The Draws category in your Owner's Equity group (3000), under Equity
Your category in the Due From Owners group (1200), under Other Short-Term Assets
Non-owners
The personal tag will use the teammate's category in the Due from Teammates group (1200), under Other Short-Term Assets, to reconcile any transaction.
