Hi Chandler/GnuCash users, https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=debian - you mentioned using GnuCash 5.8 on Debian, but which version of Debian are you using? https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnucash.GnuCash - if you would prefer to use the most current version of GnuCash (5.10), using th

[GNC] Wash sale recording

2024-12-17 Thread R Losey
So, early this year, I (unwittingly) did a wash sale. I have heard of wash sales before, but I had made an invalid assumption. In case anyone else doesn't know, in the US, if you sell a stock for a loss, and repurchase it within 30 days, you are not allowed to claim the capital loss. This is calle

FYI --- Installed Version 5.10 on Sunday evening. Have been running with no issues. Running with Windows 11 Pro. Have noticed a very curious thing, however. Revo Uninstaller and Windows Control Panel is reporting it as version 5.9 even though the startup screen in GNU Cash shows 5.10. Not s

Thanks. In reality, I used easy numbers and I should have changed it to selling 50 and buying 100 instead of the other way around. Did I correctly change the cost basis by what I did? Or is there some other way? Thanks On Tue, Dec 17, 2024 at 2:40 PM Stan Brown (using GC 4.14) < stan...@fastma

I’d made an error when I wrote bit in the bundler script that derives the version to pass to the setup-generator: It gets the release instal directories, sorts them, and grabs the last one. The problem with that is that it’s a lexical sort so if say 5.8, 5.9. and 5.10 directories exist then the

I am thinking maybe this got corrupted: C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\libgnc-engine.dll When upgrading, I think it does not fully remove all components, so I did a full uninstall and reinstall. Will monitor for future problems. I anyone thinks I am off-base, please let me know. _

That would be something to try. I had a problem with a different application where the recommended procedure was to use the Windows Add/Remove programs feature to remove the program, then REBOOT the computer and verify that certain folders had also been removed before re-installing the program.

I do this with my bank - I have CDs instead of a T-bill, but I think the procedure is the same. Note that when they automatically re-invest (I assume you mean auto-renew), what is really happening is that one CD / T-bill matures, and the accumulated funds are used to purchase a new one. Thus, there
