Re: [GNC] ANNOUNCE: GnuCash 5.9 Released

GnuCash is run and maintained by volunteers. I'm betting that the person who maintains the webspace (GnuCash.org) will update the main page during the next few days. I am very grateful for the effort the volunteers expend. I am not one of the developers, but I've been known to spend time tryin

Not to put to fine a point on it, why then have a central website that doesn't provide the most current stable relesase? And, no, I don't read entire messasges that do little more than list bug fixes just to find more websites. On Mon, Sep 30, 2024 at 1:51 AM Patrick James via gnucash-user < gnuc

Re: [GNC] Entering my real estate and mortgage?

If you purchased your house, and want to record the full costs, I'd use a "Settlement Account" (like a suspense account). My real-life settlement account has ~20 transactions to various e.g. utilities prorata, title insurance, real estate fees etc. 1-Jan: Reservation Assets:Bank -50,000 Assets:Hou

Re: [GNC] Tutorial not found

I daresay that Noel may not need to update if it is not easily done on his operating system and newer releases do not add features that he needs. I, for example, am still running release 4.8 on a couple of Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) machines that I am not ready to update yet. On Sun, Sep 29, 2024, 8:

Re: [GNC] stock spinoff and lots

Hi Michael I assume that you want to retain the original lot so that you know the acquisition date associated with it when you ultimately dispose of it and realise a capital gain/loss? Unfortunately I do not believe that the Lots functionality in GnuCash is sophisticated enough to do that. A

Re: [GNC] stock spinoff and lots

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? https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2012-March/044159.html

Thank you for the suggestion. That sounds like it would address the capital gains but then I no longer have an accurate record of the original purchase. On Sun, Sep 29, 2024, 8:57 PM Murugan Mariappan wrote: > Can you try to update the cost of the original transaction of the parent > company and

Hi Michael. AFAIU in Switzerland you get the bank to lend you the money for the mortgage, which in my case represents 65% of the price of my real estate. 35% I paid down from my equities (cash on my bank accounts, 3rd pillar savings). By paying as much as 35% I am excluded from amortization, becau

Boniforti, I am not a maintainer/moderator of this list. The challenge with accounting questions is the accounting standard being used. For someone who is new to accounting, it seems as though there should be one "right" or "best" answer, but often the "right" or "best" answer is situational,
