    To show a refund as negative income, you would use an income category for the withdrawal.  I suggest using the same income category you used when you received the income for the refund transaction.

    Refund of WHAT? An income item?  Or a refund for a purchase returned.
    BUT, in general, use the same category that was used for the initial transaction ... thus "reversing" it.

    When I issue a refund, I have to issue a credit first. I categorized my item sold as Sales, Business. When my client wanted to return it, I had to issue him a credit, according to Quicken, then issue a refund. His balance was 0. But I don't see that credit or refund on my Sales account as a negative number.

    Why not, that is what it is?

    Looking at profit and loss statement, the credit does NOT show up.
    How can I fix that?
