Dan and JM,
Regarding step 1...
The Tax Schedule Information dialog has a checkbox indicating it is a
"Tax-Deferred or Tax-Exempt Account". The dialog also has two optional
combo boxes for specifying tax schedules:
- Transfers In
- Transfers Out
Both of the combo boxes are blank.
It sounds like this is the correct setup.
Regarding steps 3-4...
This is much nicer as everything is contained in the one account! With the
original method, the other account (I was using a checking account) had a $0
entry every week.
Thanks again for your helpful advice.
