we have discovered we owe $75,000 to our denomination from not paying dues in 2008-2010. I plan to record it as a notes payable, with DR retained earnings CR notes payable but I am not sure how to post to a prior period. ANy help is appreciated

You will need to post the transaction in an accounting month that is currently open. To post it as a prior period adjustment (i.e. an adjustment directly to retained earnings) debit the appropriate Net Assets account (e.g. the 3110 account for Unrestricted Net Assets) on the entry.
