To add a journal entry you will start with a blank journal entry input form.

Select the appropriate entry type (Book AJE, Tax AJE, Tax RJE) from the selector, enter an entry number, and a memo (optional).

Use the empty grid to select accounts, enter their credit or debit amount, and a workpaper reference (optional). All accounts from the file will appear in the dropdown with the book name followed by the tax line. There are also several accounts that will always appear in the dropdown, which can be found listed in the Permanent Accounts section of this article.

If your journal entry is out of balance, the total line at the bottom of the grid will turn red and display the difference. You will not be able to save a journal entry that is out of balance.
