How do I set up a Family Trust Fund Account in Reckon Premier, and how do I record payments.

Thanks in advance.

    You cant set properly Trust Funds using normal accounting package as such .

    Your Tax Accountant will do this in their Trust Tax Practice software.

    I use Reckon Elite Tax software to manage Trust Accounts as a Tax Agent.

    You will just record as normal entries in Premier and your Accountant will do the rest.

    Does this help you?

    So I set up a bank account and just transfer funds as normal?

    I record the transactions through bank as they occur.

    At the end of the year I rely on the Tax Agent to provide all the journals relating loan accounts, distributions to beneficiaries etc. (If this is not provided, all the Reckon file does is show "dollars in, dollars out" and is essentially worthless for reporting purposes - especially the balance sheet.)

    Thanks Bruce, this makes sense.
