Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why you are bothering to do 
an import if there are only two transactions once every three months. Wouldn't 
it be easier to just enter them by hand the way you want

Hi all,

I use a third party organization to run payroll, and they make two
withdrawals from my bank. One is the amount actually paid to employees (two
of us :) and the other is the sum of taxes collected from those employees,
plus the employer's tax contributions.

Unsurprisingly, when this imports, from the bank records, it shows as two
transactions, and the tax stuff is all lumped into a single transaction.

As yet, I've only handled this once and did it wrong anyway (I fixed it up
by hand OK though). However, in three months it'll happen again so I figure
if I ask now I could be ready to try to do it right next time.

What I'd like--but suspect might be impossible, is to persuade the import
operation to create a split to the two accounts (payroll taxes: employer
and payroll taxes-employee). I'm not so concerned about how the money is
allocated across the split (there's really no way for the system to know
what to do about that, after all), but if there's a placeholder, that would
be a nice start.

Or perhaps there's some other approach that I've not thought of?

What do folks recommend?

Cheers,
Simon
