Adrien (and Dale and David), Each of you correctly suggests a transaction from an income account to the checking account.   However, I suspect that underlying Art's question is the idea that this transaction will not have any connection to the original CD account. When he calls up the CD regist

I have been trying to learn GnuCash for several months now, and I am apparently dumber than I thought. I am pretty good at keeping my checking account, but I find more complex actions more challenging. For example, I bought a CD (cert. of deposit) last year, and it resides in my brokerage account.

IIRC, the qif importer is (or was, in the 2.6.x series) somewhat clunky when it came upon an unknown 'other' account or category. It may have needed a nudge to place it correctly into the account tree. I don't think it dumped everything into some imbalance file without giving the user a chance ma

I thought the importer prompted you to create new accounts, no? Certainly the register does if I enter a new one or mistype an existing one. You can import accounts by themselves. (though not easily via export from Quicken) Do an export on your current accounts to get the CSV structure, then us
