withdrawal question
I had a member withdraw this year. His account on the valuation date was worth 21276.57. We charge a 3% fee to withdraw and the software calculated the fee to be 658.04. But 658.04 is not 3% of 21276.57. What could have gone wrong?

club_cafe: backup withholding
Here's a tentative workaround, but you may have to change things. Assuming your club did NOT make any charitable contributions during 2005 and the backup withholding took place in 2005: Enter the backup withholding as a charitable contribution to a 50% organization. This will segregate ...
