David P, What verb would you use to declare that transactions in or out of a particular account should appear in a tax report as part of the total that should appear, for example, on a certain line on form 1099-R from a certain custodian. The tax schedule report assigns, associates, links or somehow picks out which transactions create the list of transactions that should be included on whichever line of whichever form to be reported to the U.S. IRS. The user should have created a certain income account to identify cash moves from a tax deferred asset account to a current asset account, which should appear on a certain 1099-R form, linked to that form in the tax report, and those transactions appear on that line in the tax report.
You can assign wage income to W-2's, or whatever. Isn't that what you are looking for? On Mon, Apr 5, 2021 at 5:11 PM David G.
