So now that the subsidies from CRA have started coming in, how is everyone going to enter them into QB? Are these going to be considered an income? and will they be tax exempt?

Generally these are taxable revenues, though rather than recording them in your usual sales buckets, you may wish to create a separate 'below the line' extraordinary revenue category.

Help calculating the amounts (particularly if you're blending both the 10% and 75% wage subsidies)
