well it works like when they give you a free cell phone, you still have to
pay the tax or if you win a car, you still have the pay the tax. I pay the
tax up front when I buy the merchandise. So even if I give the customers a
discount on the item, I need to recoup my tax back.

Marilene,

I understand what you are trying to do, unfortunately I do not use the
invoices in Money. I would re-post your last post so hopefully someone with
this knowledge can help you. I would tend to believe that the tax amount
should be after the discount not before. I am sorry I could not help you.

I'm so use to the old standards of accounting that sometimes I make it to
hard when its not that hard at all. :-)

What I'm trying to do is this:

I sell jewlrey and I sometimes need to give my customers a discount. But I
need to charge them sales tax on the full amount of the sale, then I put the
discount on the total amount of the sale (not including the tax). So my
dilema is that I can get money to do a discount on each item but them in
calcs the tax on the amount after the discount. All I can think of doing is
to write off the remainder of the amount owing. I'm using invoices. Does
money have sales receipts?

any help will be greatly appreciated.

Marilene,

What are you trying to write off? The way I make an adjustment is by naming
the payee Adjustment and selecting what category I want the adjust to go to.
If you need to add to the balance of debt you do a create a charge(debit),
if you need to reduce the debt you create a deposit(credit). Let me know if
this helps.

How do you do write off's in money. I'm use to using quickbooks and it has an
area for adjustments write offs and so on. I can't seem to do negative
entries in money.
