You can manage this two ways. If you only want one Bill to show up but be split into multiple sub-categories, you'll want to uncheck "tie to budget". Then after you've recorded the bill payment without a category, you can click on the "paid" link and change it to a split transaction to specify multiple sub-categories for that one bill. We've added a task to our to-do list to allow you specify if it should be a split transaction when recording the bill but you can just update the transaction for now by clicking the paid link as a work around. The other way is record each Bill as it's sub-category (utilities, rent, etc.). From the My Budget page, create your categories and subcategories the way you see them and then when creating a new bill, you can select those sub-categories from the category list. The difference will be recording 1 transaction in your registry or multiple transactions for each sub-category.

Sub Categories
I have roommates and all the "house bills" need to be tied together so we can split them but I would also like those bills to go into their proper "sub-categories" i.e. utilities, rent, etc. and then put all my bills in another category. by itself with it's sub-categories. So how do I create the sub-categories?
