Spending Category Error

I have an issue when looking at "Spending" there is an Income transaction showing in last months Spending which incorrectly shows last month spending as a negative? The transaction is correctly reported as "Income"

Would you mind showing us the Spending view with the problem category?

Is this transaction a refund or return, e.g., you purchased something last month and returned it for a refund this month? If you categorized this refund to the same purchase category (e.g., Shoes), as you should, this month's category view will show an income.

Can you please capture one or more images of the parts of your Quicken window showing the issue, sensitive information blacked out as necessary to protect your privacy but annotated to describe the situation, and attach the image(s) here?

Please save images to files of file type PNG, JPG, or GIF only. They're easier to work with than PDF files.
