Art, The transaction is pretty simple
Debit Credit Asset :Bank:Checking xxxx Income:InterestCD xxxx Where under the Income top level account the account to record the interest should be located will depend on your circumstances. Generally interest income is likely to be taxable but you would only have to differentiate if you also had sources of non-taxable income. You could also either lump all your interest income into one account or use sub-accounts to record interest from different sources. It depends on the level of detail you require. If the interest amount is the same each time, i.e. only depends on the principal, you could also set it up as a scheduled transaction ending when the CD matures.
