Reconciling CC payments

Question

What category should I be using for CC payment from my linked checking account to my linked CC account. I do not want it to "double dip"

Jim_Harman · Answer

You should assign each credit card charge an appropriate Category.

You should record the  credit card payment as a transfer from your checking account to the credit card account.

When generating spending reports, click on the gear at the top right of the report to customize it. On the Accounts tab, include both the checking and the credit card accounts. On the Advanced tab, next to "Transfers" select "Exclude internal." With these settings, the report will show your expenses as categorized and will not include the credit card transfer payments.

None.  It is a transfer from checking to the credit card  account.  The "category" is the credit card account in square brackets like this -  [credit card]
