Wow- I can't belive that I missed that- I guess it made too much sens
but it never occured to me to categorize these items under transfers..
I guess I didn't need to mention that I'm pretty new here...

Thanks for setting me (and my accounts) straight!

First, not really. You say the "payment of $2000 towards the credit card
account (which will debit my checking account), it shows as an expensed
transaction from my checking account (as it should)". I don't think it
should show up as an Expense.

Second, I THINK what you may be missing is that the payment to the credit
card, if the credit card is also a Money account, should NOT be an Expense,
it should be a Transfer:[name of Money credit card acct].

How can I omit certain expense transactions from my reports?

Here's the problem- I pay my credit card account from my checkin
account. So, if I execute a payment of $2000 towards the credit car
account (which will debit my checking account), it shows as an expense
transaction from my checking account (as it should); when I run
report, it displays the $2000 expensed transaction (under the checkin
account) but also includes all of my credit card expenses (presumabl
totaling $2000) and therefore creates duplicates in my total spendin
report.

First, does my explanation make sense?
Second, is there a remedy
