1 In the Account Register, fill out the Deposit transaction form as you would for any transaction.
2 In the Amount field, enter the amount you deposited minus the amount of cash you got back.
3 Click Split.
The Amount field in the first part of the Split Transaction dialog box shows the amount of the actual deposit.
4 Change the amount to equal the total amount of the check including the cash you got back.
5 Press ENTER. This will take you to the second line of the split.
The Amount field of the second line of the split transaction will contain a negative amount equal to the cash amount you withdrew from the check.
6 In the
Category field of the second line, enter the name of the category you use for cash. If youÆre tracking your cash, you might want to enter this as a transfer to your cash account. To learn more about this, see
Tracking cash.
7 Press ENTER. The unassigned amount at the bottom of the Split Transaction box should be zero.
8 Click Done.
Note that the amount you enter in the Deposit field before you split a transaction is unaffected by changes you make in the Split Transaction dialog box, as long as the amounts of the split total the original amount.
