Michael,

It was a GnuCash question about why a closed lot didn't result in GnuCash creating a capital gain transaction. It was not a question about if I owed capital gain taxes. What I missed was that the lot was closed with no capital gain so that's why GnuCash doesn't create a capital gains transaction.

Regards,

Michael

Geoff,

Thanks for detailed example. It looks similar to a suggestion made in 2012
that I had dismissed because it closes out the original lot, which I am
hoping to avoid.

  Why does that not create a capital gains transaction?

That is NOT a gnucash question. That is a tax question for which you need an answer from somebody legally qualified to give advice for your jurisdictions (not us). Or of course you could look up yourself. In which case you would not be saying "why does it not ..." but referencing the pertinent paragraphs from the tax code (re: spin offs, capital gains)

I am NOT "qualified" to give such advice. << that doesn't mean I don't know the answer >>
