To keep it simple, let’s say you only have one rental property, and receive rent for it at intervals throughout the year, recording this income in Income:Rent. Open the Income:Rent account, and right-click on any of the transactions in that account. Choose the “Filter By…” option. Select an appropriate date range. Job done! If you set a future date range, no transactions will be visible - as if you’d set up a completely new set of books. If you choose the start and end dates of a previous financial year, you’ll see the transactions for that year. There is no need to Close Books in GnuCash when moving into a new financial year, and there is no need to set up a new GnuCash file for each financial year, the way you would have done when keeping pen-and-ink records. If you feel you need to start a new year but carry forward the chart of accounts without the old year’s transactions, I think you can do this with File => New File - I’m not sure of the details, and have never tried this.
