[GNC] Income vs expense

[Adrien Monteleone]

Peter,

Welcome to GnuCash.

Your expense transactions should be split between where the money is coming from (cash, checking, credit card, etc.) and the relevant expense account.

Your income transactions should be split between where the money is going to (cash, checking, undeposited funds, etc.) and an income account.

Check your transactions to make sure this is the case and that you aren’t splitting income transactions with expense accounts or expense transactions with income accounts.

You may find it helpful to ‘view splits’ or turn on Transaction Journal view in the View menu at least till you get it sorted out.

Otherwise, if you spend exactly what you take in, they of course, will net to zero.

Regards,
Adrien
