FSA amount can't be negative? John Oliver 01-18-2008

On my paystub, my Flexible Spending Account shows, instead of a
deduction from me to the account, a deduction from the account to me.
Yes, that's bizarre and wrong and probably an error that HR will need to
fix next week. But that's what it shows, and I cannot enter a negative
number in the split for that, so my net pay is wrong.

How can I either force Quicken to accept a negative number, or somehow
otherwise force it to show the amount that I was actually paid? I
seriously doubt they'll fix this by "retracting" my pay and re-issuing
it... I'm sure that, next pay period, there'll just be a different
amount shown on my stub. But I need to fix this, or Quicken will never
reconcile again.

Enter the seperate entry for the amount of the error and make the FSA entry
on the paycheck be a zero. The sum of the two transactions will equal your
net pay. You will not be able to automatch during reconciliation so
manually clear the items.
