I have a question regarding the operation of Microsoft Money 2006,
Business Edition.  Basically, here's my situation:

I am a freelance interactive media designer (SHAMELESS PLUG:
http://www.BirdInTheCity.com) and I am trying to track both my
personal and business expenses with Money 06 Small Business Edition. 
Because the dynamics of freelancing only fall roughly within the
standard operation of this program, I am having some trouble
generating reports and getting the program to function correctly.

Ideally, I would love for a freelancer to take this question and
describe the best way to structure the program so that it accurately
tracks a freelancer?s finances.  For instance, in my case, invoices =
personal income and business accounts = personal accounts, and so I
need a step by step tutorial of how to make Money function correctly
given these circumstances.

A specific example of that broad question:
I use invoices within the program to track the hours that I have
worked on projects.  When I get paid for these services, the pay
sometimes comes in with taxes deducted and sometimes without. 
Typically, I have been marking the deposited check as "Income" but
then it keeps the invoices listed as unpaid.  Alternatively, when I
click "Receive payment for invoice" I am presented with an option of
where I want the money deposited.  If I put it toward my standard
checking account, I don?t have the option of inputting tax information
as I would if I listed the money as
?Income?.

Is there a way to list it as both a paid invoice and enter tax info,
so that none of the generated reports get adversely affected (ie
Everything is still
tracked correctly, account totals duplicated)?

I understand that my question is fairly convoluted, but I explained
the best I could!  Please write back with any clarifications.  Also,
please let me know if there are any tutorials/guides/etc specifically
geared toward these types of freelance issues.
