Hello Ig_roberts,

Welcome to the Community page,

We are not accountants and are unable to advise what category to put the government grant in, we don't know what the grant is for therefore can't tell you how to entre it, we would advise speaking to an accountant they will be able to assist you with this query.

If anymore has done a similar thing or if any accountants now we welcome them to comment on this post. Thanks

I would imagine there are many, many QB users in receipt of a grant recently.

Hopefully someone will be along to give some advice to us soon.
