Thanks Dick & SJCOHEN730,

I don't mind using the manual entry method. I can just delete the downloaded
transaction when I receive my bank updates.
I have set up a recurring deposit using the split transaction to help remind
me to enter it.

Thanks again,
John

John, if you did this manually like I do you could use the paycheck form for
social security deposits. But since you download, I would agree that Dick's
suggestion also works. Steve

Edit the downloaded transactions into a split. In the splits, change the
amount for the income category to the total. Add a second line for an
Insurance:Medicare Premium (or similar) expense. This will be entered as a
negative number. The net should still match the download.

This is just another example of where downloaded transaction data can only
get you so far.

Using Money '04.
I need advice on keeping up with Social Security pension received where the
Medicare insurance is deducted from total payment.
When I download the deposit from the bank it just lists the total amount
deposited, which is the amount due less the deduction for Medicare
insurance.
I would like to keep up with the total S.S. amount received and then record
the amount paid for the insurance.
How should this be handled?
Thanks,
John
