my concern is how will it affect submitting my t2 return

    Hi Lucian1 

     

    Thank you for your response. 

     

    If you do combine or transfer balances from one account to other account this will not affect your balance sheet. If you will not be using the Cash drawer accounts you can combine this to the new account. You may refer to our Help Article, Combining accounts, that has detailed information to assist with this.

    Hi Lucian1 

     

    Thank you for your post. I'd like to extend you a warm welcome to the Community Forum. I hope you find it a valuable resource.

     

    Regarding your concern you can still transfer your balance from the cash drawer account to the new account Director's loan liability account. I suggest that it would be best to speak to your accountant for your balance sheet as it may take effect on your bookeeping.

      Thanks so much for the response!

      So, any suggestions on how to make that entry?  Should the cash drawer be "deactivated" or kept at zero balance.  What kind of an impact would it have on my balance sheet since all I would be doing is switching the balance from one acct to another?
