I'm so appreciative of your quick response! And I'm sorry that I'm not being clear on the issue. Both the Gen'l Fund and this Restricted account are in the same bank account. 'On paper' this money is in the restricted account. I need to move it 'on paper' back to Gen'l Fund. It doesn't need to be moved physically.
So if I take it out of the restricted account (which was set-up as a non-profit income acct) what's the other side of the entry? A QB 'Transfer' only lets me choose Balance Sheet accounts. I can't use the bank account because no money is actually going anywhere. Do I use an equity account? Which one...
If I understand, you want to track funds received for a specific purpose without having the hassle of actual separate bank accounts. So you have set up a sub account of the main account in QB and shown those funds deposited into the sub account. Now you just need to change the source bank account on the upper left of the check form from the main account to the sub account whenever you spend any of the restricted funds and this will reduce the balance in that sub account and show when those funds have been used up.
