What's the Difference between Business and Non-Business Categories?

Business categories are reserved for allocating tax-deductible Income and Expenses on the Schedule C as specified by the IRS.

Non-Business categories are reserved for separating transactions that are not tax-deductible and that you do not want to affect your Profit & Loss.
