Mary Lou, When you use a split for a cash transaction, don't use the checkbox. From what I understand, the checkbox is a shortcut to allow you transfer money from one account to cash. One common application would be an ATM withdrawal. I so rarely have "cash only" transactions, that I never use this button--I just create the transfer my self using the drop downs further down in the panel.
Since you are sending money in two different directions, you would need to uncheck this box. Overall, you have two approaches... One approach would be to start with a deposit into cash of 150 and 425 and assign each deposit to an income bucket. Then transfer 550 from cash into your checking account. This will allow you to keep the payee data with with the cash transaction and have a single deposit so that your checking account matches your statement. The second approach would involve a complicated split transaction that also included transfers, somewhat similar to what you did--I won't go into that, since I don't think that would be as ideal given your situation, unless you don't think the first approach would work for you.
