The information in this article applies to:
 
 - Microsoft Money versions 2.0, 2.0a, 3.0, and 3.0a
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
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.
 
   1. Type the values in the Employer's Matching Contributions box as
      negative amounts.
 
   2. 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.
 
   1. In the Taxes Payable box, type the values as negative amounts.
 
   2. In the Employer Matching Contributions box, type the values as
      positive amounts.
 
   3. The transfers show as Transfer From rather than Transfer To as
      shown in the manual.
 
   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.
 
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.
