Hello. I don't think that the "USD Dividends" would be under IBKR - that should be somewhere else, probably under "Income" somewhere. When you are paid a dividend, it either goes into the "Cash" fund, or else it is reinvested and more stock is purchased. If the dividends are invested, you'd have

Hello Jason, I have tried to replicate your issue first in Excel and later on in Gnucash and the payment for a loan of 28,050 with an interest rate of 6.69% with monthly payments for 96 periods is 378.11 not 338.08. You have done something during the setup of the loan and I guess that Gnucash is t
