Quick Summary

When a partner withdraws more than their capital contribution, their capital account can show a negative balance. This can be presented on the balance sheet in two ways: either on the asset side as a debit balance, or on the liability side with a minus sign. The latter is often preferred for consistency with tax return formats.
