That is great! Thanks you both very much!

An even handier method is to press F6 before pressing "Done". This will
bypass the "whine" and distribute the unallocated amount proportionally
among the individual items in the split. Of course, this assumes one enters
the correct total PRIOR to entering the split information.

Sure. Enter the total amount of the transaction then enter the splits for
food and clothing leaving the tax portion unallocated. Then click Done on
the splits box. Money will whine about unallocated balance and one of the
choices it offers it to proportionally split the unallocated amount over the
splits you did enter. Voila! (It even says that this is a good way to handle
sales tax and, indeed, it is.)

Hi,

For my credit card transactions, I'd like to split the
transaction among the categories. However, I find it
difficult to split the sale tax. For example, I have the
following receipt

food 18.85
cloth 12.89
8.8% tax rate 1.66
Total 33.40

When I split the 33.40 transaction, I have to manually
calculate the tax for food and cloth items. Is there an
easier way? Thanks.
