You have it figured out.danlapin said:Thanks for responding Tom. What I'm trying to do is to categorize that it will not shows up in my tax summary. I'm not sure if i should create a sub category under tax as tax paid and tax refund and leave a tax line item blank. I hope i make sense. Any suggestions?
Yes, create subcategories for Tax Paid and for Tax Refund.
Yes, leave the tax line assignments blank.
These items will not display in the Tax Summary and Tax Schedule reports.
Note: This applies for Federal Taxes - Paid & Refund.
State taxes, paid or refund, are reportable and the categories are given the appropriate tax line assignment.QWin & QMac (Deluxe) Subscription

I created an Income category "Tax Refund" with Subcategory "Federal Refund" with no tax line item, and Subcategory "State Refund" with tax line item "1099-G state and local tax refunds"2

I'm not sure what you're referring to by "If i don't categorize properly it shows up on my report." Why wouldn't you want it to show up on a report? (What report?)I assume your taxes withheld and/or estimated taxes show up on a Spending report of some sort, unless all you're picking up in the report is the net paycheck. If that's the case then one way of handling this would be to simply enter the refund as a "negative" expense when you receive it.Maybe you can explain how you're currently accounting for the tax "outflow" and what report you're referring to?0

That's exactly how I handle this situation also.
