Recording a transfer back into the same account

sherrypow

Hello,

About a month ago, I started to receive the above message when trying to record a transaction in my register. I am trying to record a transfer from savings to checking. When I say no, the transaction deletes itself. If I say yes, the transaction duplicates itself throwing off my balances. Both accounts are with the same bank and checking is account 2 and savings is account 1. Suggestions or thoughts?

To transfer money from your savings to checking, in Q, you input a transaction into your savings account that has, as it's Category, the name of your checking account surrounded by Square Brackets. E.G. [Checking account name].

It sounds like you're inputting the transaction into the savings account with the name of the savings account in the category field.
