Rather, I would like to see a filter like the Account Report where transactions to/from child accounts are ignored. > You might make it easier to ’see’ them in the reconciliation dialog by > giving them some common description.

I tried checking them as cleared and they then will either show as Income or Expense. Also the balance wasn't anywhere close to 0--it was way off one way or the other--so I'd no idea if I was truly balancing or not. After I went through and remarked them from c to n in the account register could I properly run the reconciliation and found a second entry error! Anyway, I'll keep doing what I'm doing and watch the reconciliation list grow longer each month. Otherwise, this is too difficult to describe in detail here. I just ran some quarterly transaction reports and after a small learning curve I got exactly what I wanted with them.
