What I would really like to see is an actual screen shot showing how
to enter the various pieces of a transaction that involves the return of
the par value of the bond, the assignment of interest, the purchase of the
replacement bond once the auction determines the price to be paid.
First, usually not actually ONE transaction (especially if discrete
bonds, not a fund)
The bond had been bought for price X. That transaction
date a debit Bondxyz X credit cash X
The bond is sold at maturity for price Y
date b debit cash Y credit Bondxyz X, credit interest
(Y-X) ---- tax law considers this interest, not a capital gain
NOW back to "a" (the reinvestment --- of course the discount price in
general different from X)
