When I first setup my file, all of the investments / securities were organized by type: Cash-US Cash-International Bonds-US Bonds-International Stock-US Stock-International RealEstate-US RealEstate-International
Sometime later, I learned about Trading accounts, so turned on that feature. I noticed that the Trading accounts mirrored the Securities organization. However, with my initial setup, I am finding it difficult to produce some reports. So, I am thinking of redoing my chart of accounts. I have a business, a trust, and my personal items. Both the business and the trust are passthru items for income tax purposes. So, for a tax report or a net worth report, it would be best if all three were in the same file. But, for balance sheet or income statement, it would be best if the business and trust were each in their own file. The problem is some Trading accounts are a mixture of transactions from personal, business, and/or trust. I need to seperate them so I can do correct balance sheets. So, I am thinking of three sub-accounts: Personal Business Trust under each of: Assets Liabilities Equity Income Expenses Trading That way, it is easy to pick subsets of accounts (and their children) for the balance sheet or income statement reports. Can I redo the Trading accounts setup and still have things work OK? Do I also need to redo how the securities are organized? Aside: It is possible for the same security to end up in: Personal - taxable Personal - tax deferred (regular IRA) Personal - tax free (Roth IRA) Trust - taxable _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
