Dear John, Thank you for the detailed example. Yes, your examples make sense to me, and what I expect to happen, though I'm still not clear on how to actually implement the following in GNUcash: You need to book that gain as income in order for your book to stay in > balance in USD. In your exa

Hi Mike & GNUCash users, Possibly minor point, but what version of Linux Mint are you using? https://www.linuxmint.com/download_all.php Does your bookkeeper use Windows or Linux to access your GNUCash data file? --- Thanks, Brad - https://www.facebook.com/brad.morrison.12327/ & https://next

So, I just received my 1099-DIV and there are "non-dividend distributions" (box 3). I'm told that I am supposed to reduce the cost basis by this amount, but I'm not quite sure how to do this in GnuCash. I did quick search, and didn't spot anything, but I'm not quite sure how to go about doing thi

If those 13k transactions are spread across multiple accounts than try doing one account at a time. I've also noticed that more often it works better if the program is fresh launched and then commencing the check without doing anything in-between. -Original Message- From: David Warren

I am not sure what OS you are on but if you are type that welcomes technical challenges then suggest to temporarily run a different OS on virtual machine (Oracle VirtualBox), installing GnuCash on it and then try performing checks. Netboot (https://netboot.xyz/) or Ventoy (https://www.ventoy.net
