     Well, it was worth a try *:o)   I have a liability
account I do this with, but I reconcile it. I guess it
isn't really a liability account, but that was the
closest I could find that does what I want: I use it
for Medicare: doctor's bills increase it and insurance
payments decrease it; and it should zero out at the end
of each year. I then archive it. I could just let
Medicare and insurance company do their thing and
forget it, but I like to keep track - and I found a
bill paid by Medicare for a doctor I never heard of.
His office did a lab test on a specimen sent to them -
and Medicare was charged for an office visit. He ended
up sending it all back to Medicare and didn't get paid
for the test!! If it hadn't been for my accounting in
Quicken, no one would have known. I don't know if it
was an accident or a fraud attempt.
