<p>I'm not quite sure I follow what you are describing entirely. What field are you putting this "label" in for "Social Security"? I assume the category field? If so, is the "Social Security - Removed" also a category you are using? And you are writing the same thing in the description fields?</p>
<p>For clarity, could you try to write out the main fields for these two types of transactions? For example:</p>
<p>Transaction 1:<br>
Description: Social Security<br>
Category: Social Security<br>
Deposit: $xxx</p>
<p>Transaction 2: ...</p>
<p>Alternatively, you could attach a screenshot of these transactions. If you're not sure how to take a screenshot, please see <a href="http://www.take-a-screenshot.org/">http://www.take-a-screenshot.org/</a></p>

I have a bank account called salary. I just want to keep track of Taxes paid on the income deposited. To this end, I insert a new deposit transaction with the Description: Social Security and Category: Social Security. There are two splits Gross and Taxes. Because I don't want to track spending from this bank account, I want to immediately remove the net funds via a followup transaction that has the same description and category (no splits though) and a payment equal to the net deposit from above. This should leave the account with a balance of zero.</p>
<p>The problem occurs when I go back to a previous date and edit a transaction that was missing its description entry (in this example the deposit transaction). The "matching" payment transaction description was also blank until I filled in the missing description from the deposit. Now, both transactions have the same descriptions even though I did not make any change to the payment transaction (one is a deposit and the other is a payment). If I delete the payment transaction, the deposit transaction sharing the same category in the split portion is deleted. If I alter the amount in either transaction the "companion" transaction is affected. I have done the above several times. Somehow this two entries are linked together.</p>
<p>But, when create these two transactions manually one at a time on the last entry in the account (today's date) they worked fine. There is no linkage effect. If I recall correctly the "linked" transaction originated as reminder transactions.</p></div>dyno7351
