I just use the expense category to record the income. Money will complain
about this at first, but if you change the preferences it will stop bugging
you. This way when I spend $100 on something and get $50 of it reimbursed by
someone else, my category report only shows a sum total of $50 being spent.

I rent a house with three roommates and am responsible
for paying the utility bills. For each bill, I pay the
full amount from my own checking account but then receive
75% of it back from the other three roommates. How can I
accurately track these transactions, so my budget
reflects that I'm really only paying $25 for the
electricity bill, and not the full $100?
