Yes. That is what you want to do: use the SPECIAL transfer at the
bottom of the list.

When you first process the first transaction of the transfer of
funds, set the category as a transfer to the other ( ING
or checking account). When you process the second transaction,Money
should match it. Be careful to not just Accept if Money did not
find the match on its own for some reason. Click Change and match
it to the transfer you already made if Money did not match it for
you.
For existing transactions that are already accepted, convert one to
a transfer and Void/Delete the other.

Default Transfers between banks - not income or expense, and not a transfe

I am using Money Plus Delux. I download my bank statements and qualify the
transactions therein. I have an account with ING Direct, a popular online
bank where I access funds by making transfers to a linked account, in this
case my regular checking account at a different institutions. In this case,
the transfers appear on both accounts ledgers as different headings. I want
to catagorize each end of the transfer in such a way that it does not show up
as an expense or as income in reports I run.

I tried categorizing them as transfers. For example, I move 100 units of
money from account A to account B, which shows up as a 100 unit expense from
A and a 100 unit income in B. If I qualify each transaction as a transfer in
Money, I get 200 units moved from A to B (one by the transaction record from
account A, and the other from account B). With this method, I end up with
imbalanced accounts.

I have tried deleting the transactions, but that also imbalances my accounts.

So, how do I qualify an expense or an income unit to fall under no category
in income or expenses? Not the unassigned category, but no category?

Thanks so much!
