thanks Stephen
so it can be 2 cases
1. Interest re invested:
* Cr: Income: Interest Earned and Dr: CD Account
2. interest non re invested
* Cr: Income: Interest Earned and Dr: Bank: Bank Account
in case of penalties , you should point the penalties to the same Income:
Interest Earned account to show the net earnings.

Some clarification: Murugan, I did earn interest on the CD throughout most of
2022 and showed it as earned interest in the CD account transactions and also
in an earned interest transactions account.

Interest is accounted for as income per CD account. The way I ended up doing it
allows me to see how much interest I have earned by each and all accounts and
the interest penalty and principal penalties are noted as to which account they
were applicable but I do not track the penalties account by account (because
the penalty is for closing the account -- a one time event).

Subject: Re: [GNC] Certificate of Deposit Early Withdrawal Penalty Account Entry
Thanks to you and Murugan I got this sorted. As usual, over-thought and
over-wrought. Although I'm sure I could show all the changes in one
split entry it was easiest for me to credit the interest 162.89 as one
standalone entry first. Then I could see my way clearly to showing the
two penalty sub-amounts totaling 1529.51. Intuitively I fairly certain I
could have shown the interest earned among the splits all as one entry
but I'm going to quit while I'm ahead. I just didn't want to lose the
detail of the separate penalty amounts nor their total. Again, many thanks.
