Can I tag a split transaction with two tags and have each tag associated with a specific portion (dollar amount) of the split?

I am also trying to tag a vendor receipt with multiple categories and am unable to tag each category for the specific amount.  Tags are useless for one tag group without the ability to split into additional tag groups.  I have submitted feedback, but no response.

I totally agree with the Tag issue.  I purchase multiple items in one transaction with multiple categories and I want to be able to tag the various categories.  Please fix!!

Just joining in on the frustration :)

I'm migrating from Self-Employed to Essentials and was surprised this wasn't an available feature. Folks, this is super frustrating but I know the QB team can make this happen as it's currently available on Self-Employed.

The questions is just when...

@lindak1119 team: how about offering us a discount for our pain & suffering? ;)

I am in agreement with others. I have a client that already use classes, but we also use tags. They may pay an advertising bill for several different locations, but  there is no way to put to different areas via tag. I had read there was a way around to get around. Can someone give it to me? I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.

This is a MAJOR failure of the Tag system, which otherwise is very useful.  There is NO work around.  This needs to be fixed in QuickBooks and as soon as possible.  You are now forcing that we make deposits over separately transactions in order to support this functionality.  Really not thought out.

I may have figured out a SOLUTION to this problem.  I was having the same issue and tried to figure the best/easiest way to correct this.

1.  First Categorize your expense.

2.  Then click on your "Categorized" transactions.

3.  Find your transaction and click on the purple category description to pull up the full "Bank Deposit" page - where you're able to edit the transaction.

4.  At the bottom of the page, click on "More" (it should be listed next to "Make recurring").

5.  When the pop-up window comes up, click on "Copy" (note: this may only be available for withdrawals/expenses).

6.  This should make a copy of the transaction in your bank register (note: the duplicate transaction won't show up in your "Categorized" list, but it will show up in your bank register).

7.  Click on "Go to bank register" at the top right of your transactions page.

8.  From there, you should be able to open the bank register for whichever account that the transaction was in, find the 2 transactions (1 being a copy), and you should be able to manually adjust the amount for each transaction, and also create a separate tag for each transaction.

I know other people have mentioned before about manually creating a separate transaction for the amounts that you need to split, but this may be an easier/quicker way to do so.  It also shouldn't mess up your balance, because your "Categorized" transaction should still show the total amount of that transaction.  But when you click into it, you will see it only listed for the amount that you manually entered.  This should also correctly show only that manually entered amount when you run P&L reports by tag groups.

Hope this helps!!!
