Dan,
You’re seeing that for the following reason: The account you currently have highlighted is NOT an income/expense account. Gnucash defaults to creating a new account as a sub account of the one which is currently selected. Select either the main expense account, or a sub-account of expenses and you’ll see Income & Expense as the only options. If you do this with other account types, you won’t see Income or Expense listed.
