Hope all of you will be fine with good health and doing well.

Please educate me following:

Suppose, if a person using busy accounting software.

He has 2 separate businesses. One is sole proprietorship an another is partnership.Both businesses have separate bank account.

Actually sole proprietorship is converted in partnership.

Matter is that he issued invoices from sole proprietorship and record sale in sole proprietorship but he deposited the payment cheque which he received against these invoices in partnership bank account.

Moreover, client deposited withhold income tax on his sole proprietorship TIN.

please educate how should he record this receipt entries in his partnership account whereas sale is not recorded in this business ?

on other hand, how should he manage sole proprietorship business accounts because if he doesn't record receipt in it, Debtors account will not nill ?

and

What should he do for withhold tax matter as stated above ?

Thanks in advance for your precious time and efforts to reply this very important query.

Dear Narendra Sir, 

First of all, Sorry for late response. 

I would like to thank for your reply.

Please let me know as I mentioned in my query that if we booked sale in proprietorship and increase our debtor in balance sheet but receipt against this sale deposit in partnership firm's bank account how we will record it ?

You mentioned in your reply that depositor will debit and proprietorship will credit in partnership book.

Here, my question is that which type of depositor (x) account should be make in partnership books ? Will we have to make assets account of depositor (x) ? and as far as crediting sole proprietorship account is concerned in partnership books, will we have to consider it as liability account? 

Please reply as soon as possible?

No issue if account forfeited before 31st march, even open the account as a Debtors or Creditors. But better to create X AS a debtor & to Proprietor AS a liability in the partnership's books .

Dear Narendra Sir,

Thanks for your another precious reply.

I want to know that is it better to create a capital account of owner of sole proprietor (who is partner in partnership now and not operating proprietorship business) in partnership books ? 

and after opening it, can we pass following entry to transfer the balances of sole proprietorship in partnership books:

Debtor 1 Dr.

Debtor 2 Dr.

Bank Dr.

Cash Dr.

Fixed Assets Dr.

Owner of sole proprietorship capital account Cr. (Here I am supposing that no current liability is exist)

By this matter all assets balances will show in partnership balance sheet and in lability side these balance will equal to capital account of proprietorship owner.

Moreover, for keeping record clear, we can follow fluctuating method in partnership and under this method, we can open a current account of proprietorship owner in partnership. 

If we earn profit or loss, it will go in current account and capital account of proprietorship can be reduced by drawing account if we want to pay received amount of debtors which transferred from proprietorship.

Please educate.

Dear Narendra Sir,

Your kind response awaited on above.

Dear My videos, About Query 2 : You must make an affidavit or any other legal documents to transfer the balances & if any properties transfer like land, building, shop etc. do the practice accordingly.  About Query 3 : I think you should maintain a different bank account for receiving & payment of the older balance of proprietor.
