A withdrawal of cash by the owner is recorded in the "Owner's Draw" or "Drawings" journal. This entry reflects the reduction in the owner's equity and is typically documented as a debit to the Owner's Draw account and a credit to the Cash account. This transaction indicates that the owner is taking funds out of the business for personal use.
To close an owner's withdrawal account, you would typically make a journal entry that debits the owner's capital account and credits the owner's withdrawal account. This reflects the transfer of the withdrawn amount back into the owner's capital, effectively zeroing out the withdrawal account. For example, if the owner's withdrawal account has a balance of $5,000, the entry would be: Debit Owner's Capital $5,000 and Credit Owner's Withdrawals $5,000.

A withdrawal of cash would be recorded in the cash account of the general ledger, typically as a debit to the cash account and a corresponding credit to another account, such as an expense account or a liability account, depending on the nature of the withdrawal. If the withdrawal is for personal use, it may also be recorded against the owner's equity account. This ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect the decrease in cash and the purpose of the withdrawal.
