Expense Codes Instructions

of expense codes to which banking transaction amounts are to be
charged. Assigning these codes to banking transactions will make
tax preparation much easier and will provide the capability of
producing summary reports by expense category. The entries
consists of a two character alphabetic code followed by the
description of the expense category. It will be helpful if you
assign meaningful codes. For example, "UE" could be used to
designate a subcategory of electricity which is a member of a
general category of utilities.
