Transaction appears twice?

Apr 09, 2010 1 Replies

I get paid every other Friday. I have a direct deposit of $185 going into my Roth IRA. On Jan. 15, that transaction sort of got duplicated... one is a "XIn", and one is a "ContribX". Both are on the same date, for the same amount. I cannot change or delete either... I get a message telling me, "This transaction was created as a transfer from a split transaction. In order to change it, you must go to the source transaction by using 'Go To Transfer' from the Edit menu." For both transactions, Go To Transfer takes me to my Jan 15 paycheck... but there is only one transfer for my IRA. The math all works... there is not a "hidden" $185



How can I delete one of these transactions so my account will balance properly?


Delete the paycheck transaction. Then delete the orphaned transfer in the IRA account. Then re-enter the paycheck.
