I am only concerned about your some of you AP entries. If you paid with a check, this is essentially cash. The one example where purchases were made at the store, paid by check, would be a simple DR. Purchase CR. Cash. There should only be a reduction of an AP in the purchases were made "on account".

Also, your entry regarding sales (including sales tax) looks incorrect. Your sales tax liablity should be accrued throughout the year charging the accrual against a sales tax expense. This accrual will be relieved when tax payments are submitted. I don't believe you are probably matching your revenues and expenses properly by claiming 5,000 in total sales and nothing in that period for related sales tax expenses.

Lastly, it seems like the owner withdrawing cash from the company would be a reduction in his/hers owner's equity account.

#81 is right only if you first posted the invoice from them to AP. If not, then the entry should be Bank CR 31. And DR office Supplies 31.

#84 is wrong. The payroll checks themselves cover the payroll expense account. All you did was make a transfer from one bank to the other. CR issuing bank 2000. and DR receiving bank 2000.

That's all I see :)
