You need to make sure that your mutual fund or stock is set up as an account type of "Mutual Fund" or "Stock" (right-click on the account, select "Edit" and find the Account Type in the lower left corner. I don't know if it matters, but I always have two-line entry (Preference->Register Defaults (check box for Double Line Mode)
Reinvested dividends are entered on the stock or mutual fund; the company should inform you the amount, and the shares reinvested. So, if you own stock XYZ that pays $90 in dividends, reinvested as 3.600 shares at $25/share, in the XYZ account, you'd enter the appropriate category (Taxed, or Untaxed), and $90 for the amount and 3.600 for the shares (GnuCash will calculate the price for you). I'm not clear on what a "Tax credit" is - does that mean that they have taken taxes out of the dividend... so that, in the example above, you have a $90 dividend, but they take $10 in taxes, leaving 80 to be reinvested (3.200 shares at $25/share). It would be a similar entry, but I'd use a split transaction; in the XYZ account, I'd record a purchase of 3.200 shares at $25/share for $80, with the taxed dividends being $90 and a tax credit of $10. Hope this helps.
