Owner-equity rollup

The year-end step that folds the year’s owner draws and estimated tax payments into Owner’s Equity so those accounts restart at zero.

In Solo Superstars

Depends on entity type: sole proprietors and single-member LLCs roll draws and estimated tax; multi-member LLCs roll member distributions. Owner’s Investment is permanent and stays.

Example

Draws 12,000 and estimated tax 5,000 → debit 3000 Owner’s Equity 17,000, credit 3200 12,000, credit 3220 5,000.
