    • How to account for Business profit as Income

    Hey folks. Quicken Classic for Windows. If I get a paycheck to my personal account, you might see a spilt transaction like this:

    Income 1000
    Tax -200
    Health -100
    Deposit 700

    This would account for the tax expense as well as health insurance.

    But business income (profit) can't work that way. I can SEE the profit of 1200 by the report in Business section, but since it is not a single entry in the business account, how do I mark that as income? Something like:

    Profit / Income 1200
    Transfer to non-business acct / Deposit 1000
    Left in Business Acct 200

    I want to see business profit and personal income as income on the spending reports.

    Maybe being stupid, but I can't get everything to balance out.

    Any help appreciated.

      I guess I should add that I don't want to business expenses in the (personal) spending reports… I don't show the business account there. I know if you did you'd see the gross receipts and the gross expenses. I like to keep business and personal separated if at all possible treating business profit as income even though the draw is not that total income.

      Hope that clarifies things.
