= SUMMARY =

A dialog box in the “Microsoft Money User’s Guide” contains a documentation error.

In the “To Enter The Employer’s Matching Contribution” area of the “Organizing Your Payroll” section, the Taxes Payable line reads “Transfer To,” when it should read “Transfer From.”

= WORKAROUND =

Use one of the methods below to enter information in the Organizing Your Payroll section:

  Type the amounts reversed from what is described in the user’s guide.   Type the values in the Employer’s Matching Contributions box as negative amounts.   Type the values in the Taxes Payables box as positive amounts. 

-or-   Type the information as described in the user’s guide when you initially enter the employer’s matching split information.   In the Taxes Payable box, type the values as negative amounts.   In the Employer Matching Contributions box, type the values as positive amounts.   The transfers show as Transfer From rather than Transfer To as shown in the manual. </li></ol>

NOTE: When you examine the split later, negative amounts change to positive and positive amounts to negative. The Employer’s Matching Contribution values appear as negative amounts and Tax Payable values appear as positive amounts. The transfer type is Transfer From. </li></ul>

= MORE INFORMATION =

The error in the “Microsoft Money User’s Guide” is on page 248 for version 2.0, and page 344 for version 3.0

If a new transaction for the matching amount is added, Money’s Super SmartFill feature brings up the split with the Employer’s Matching Contribution values as negative amounts, and the Taxes Payable values as positive amounts.
