How should we track cash taken out for change and then deposited back into checking after a school function? It’s not really an expense.

In MoneyMinder, all deposits and withdrawals are recorded as income and expense. To handle cash change properly, most groups set up a cashbox or petty cash bank account in the Banking section and use transfers to move funds back and forth. This keeps everything clear and accurate.

Alternatively, you can create a budget category to log the cashbox transactions and adjust the totals out of your income and expense reports if you need to for taxes. Either method works—it’s just a matter of preference.
