Reimbursment of credit card annual fee shows up as a line item in Income Report

Question

My son offered to reimburse me for my annual credit card fee. That payment, which I deposited into my checking account, shows up on the Income/Expense by Category report as income. How do I prevent that? I only want "real" income on that report.

Thanks, I thought I did that, but maybe not. I will check. I am amazed at how fast you answered. Seemed like I just hit the "Post Comment" and then got the email telling me that the question had an answer!

Use the same category for the reimbursement that you used for the annual fee. Then they will offset each other
