Good Afternoon,
Back at the beginning of February we made a transfer from our savings account to our checking account to cover shortfall of expected Tithe/offering. I entered a transaction that looks like the following
....................................................Debit .......Credit
01-1210-000 Bank of America Savings ....................X
01-9510-000 Transfer Expense ..............X
01-9010-000 Transfer Income ...............X
01-4020-000 Tithe & Offering .............................X

The problem that I am running into is that I am now attempting to reconcile the account, but because it is not hitting the 01-1110 checking, it is not appearing in the reconciliation screen and I am struggling to figure out how to enter the transaction so that it is correctly displayed so that I can clear the transaction.

OK .. the issue is that you are trying to transfer from an income account, when it should have been an asset account. In addition, you really do NOT need to use the transfer accounts when you're transferring within a single Accounting fund.

What you should have done was this:

01-1110-000 Checking DB
01-1210-000 Savings CR

You should not be touching income, as this is not NEW income. Funds in savings was income at another time and should not be counted as new income.

So, totally reverse the previous transaction, and enter this one as listed above, and it should straighten out your accounts.
