Hey,
Do any of you reimburse your pastor for taxes they paid? Our Pastor turned in a reimbursement for the State taxes he paid and said the church has done this for years. Is this normal?

Why is printing checks so few and far between? When I say I'm printing checks, I am referring to computer generated checks. Perhaps my terminology is causing a problem. Note .. I said printing ISSUES ... not checks. Sorry, I misread that. Let me ask you this. Is it acceptable to hand write on the p...

Why is printing checks so few and far between? When I say I'm printing checks, I am referring to computer generated checks. Perhaps my terminology is causing a problem.

The checks are in sequence. For example, our last manual check is 12315. Our first printed check will be 12316. Would you suspect any issues with keeping the last book of manual checks, just to be safe?
For example, if I kept the check book that contained 12200-12315.

Neil, Previously we talked about switching to printed checks. I placed the order and I am expecting them to be delivered today. You had said that we should shred the manual checks and write a letter, signed by at least two people, saying that was done. However, in your opinion, (I know you're not an...

Yes to all the above ... when you get a receipt for the gasoline charge, you would enter it as a MANUAL CHECK. For the Check number, you could enter GASCARD, instead of the Checking Account you would use the account number of the liability account for the CREDIT, and the expense account for the DEB...

I also need to void the AP transaction that I completed earlier. I assume I can void that check and then reissue it with the same check number?

I found this online. This sounds like what I did, I think... http://www.double-entry-bookkeeping.com/accounts-payable/cash-discount-received/ Actually, no .. The method I described governs this, since the liability account I describes serves as the AR account in the page you list. The system does n...

Perhaps a better explanation would help. I'll also tell you what I did. The total bill is 620.00. If I pay by this Friday, it will be $590. The bill is as follows. 120.00 Youth Pastor Fuel (General Fund) 200.00 Church Van (General fund) 200.00 School Administrator (School Fund) 100.00 Church Bus (Ge...

Let me provide more information. It if a fuel bill that has multiple expense accounts. For example, the School Administrator, Youth Pastor, and all church vehicles are fueled up with this card. I have entered the amounts that each vehicle used, but when I enter the check amount that I am paying it d...

One of our bills provides a discount if we pay by a certain date. I am entering the bill into accounting, but I am not sure how to account for the $30.47 discount? Do I just deduct that from one of the line items or set up an income account for it?

Neil,
I sent in an order for the printable checks that we talked about before. For that I had to fax them a voided check with our account information on it. How do I entered this voided check into PowerChurch so there is a trail for it?

Neil, When I setup PC, I put in outstanding checks that hadn't been cashed yet. Two of them were payroll checks that our previous BK said she signed and placed in the offering to go towards her tithe (this was before we used PC). These two checks are from December of 2016, they haven't been cashed a...
