Following those instructions does not work. It is as if the 50% is automatically deducted in some of the automated calculations, but it is not for others.
I can not get the Income Reconciliation, Retained Earnings Reconciliation, and Balance Sheet to all be in balance. They are always off by the 50% of the meals.
If I manual enter the Book Income to match my books the Income Reconciliation and Retained Earnings can be appropriately balanced. However, the Balance Sheet is out of balance.
When I go into the Balance Sheet and follow the link to Quick Entry, the total Assets match our books; however, the manually entered amount from the Income Reconciliation is used for the Retained Earnings in the calculation for Your Liabilities and Capital. This creates a difference in the Ending Assets and Ending Liabilities, Capital and Retained Earnings. Note this difference is equal to the total meals amount when I do it this way.
If I get the Balance Sheet in balance, the Income and Retained Earnings are out of balance by the 50% of the meals expense.
