Try this. Moved the ck WHEREs to ON. You may have to fix col Nnames. Are 
all those parenthesese you use required in localSQL? If so you'll have 
to fix that too:) I retrofitted the variables - hopefully correctly.

SELECT
     ct.Category, ct.BudNum, ct.AccTypeC, ct.BudAmt, ct.NonBud,
     SUM(ck.Payment) AS Expense,
     SUM(ck.Deposit) AS Income,
     SUM(ck.SpDep) AS SpInc,
     SUM(ck.SpPmt) as SpExp
FROM Chart ct LEFT JOIN Checks ck
     ON ct.Category = ck.Category
     AND ck.CkDate BETWEEN '~WD1' AND '~WD2'
     AND ck.Category <> 'Split'
     AND ck.AId IS NULL
WHERE (ct.AccTypeC = 'Income' OR ct.AccTypeC = 'Expense')
     AND ct.BegDt = '~BL'
     AND ct.NonBud IS NULL
GROUP BY ct.Category, ct.BudNum, ct.AccTypeC, ct.BudAmt, ct.NonBud
ORDER By ct.BudNum, ct.Category, ct.AccTypeC, ct.BudAmt, ct.NonBud;

+----------+--------+----------+--------+--------+---------+--------+--------+--------+
| Category | BudNum | AccTypeC | BudAmt | NonBud | Expense | Income | 
SpInc  | SpExp  |
+----------+--------+----------+--------+--------+---------+--------+--------+--------+
|        1 | NULL   | Expense  | 2      | NULL   |  102.00 | 103.00 | 
104.00 | 108.00 |
|        2 | NULL   | Income   | 100    | NULL   |  202.00 | 203.00 | 
204.00 | 208.00 |
|        3 | NULL   | Income   | 1      | NULL   |    NULL |   NULL | 
NULL |   NULL |
