Teri, If you actually read the question fully you would see that the problem I am seeking "accounting help" for involves an expense, such as the cost of printing for a postcard, assigned to Direct Cost: Printing, and assigned to a customers job so that it can be marked up and billed. However, when we mark it up on the invoice, we are offsetting the costs in that expense category so successfully that the costs are reduced to zero and then into positive profit. If I put the Direct Cost: Printing into the INCOME part of my chart of accounts so that the profit shows there, I am entering costs for a job that won't show as an expense when I go to create an invoice. So my question is how to handle marked up expenses that turn a profit in the EXPENSES part of of my chart of accounts.
