Fran, There is another way. You can export your existing Chart of Accounts (not the transactions) and then import the CoA into the new book/file. Then you can set the opening balances from the closing balances from your previous file and you are set to go with a new file for the new year. If you

It is a two pronged approach, not really a one-or-the-other type situation. By booking the liability your Balance Sheet will correctly reflect your net worth. If you owe money, it should deduct from your net worth. If you don’t book the liability, your net worth appears larger than it really

While I do agree that for specific tax guidance Mr. Long should turn to experts from his locality and system of laws, it seems to me that what would help him is information on setting up and using a "Contingency Fund"...in his case, for taxes, but in the general it could be applied to maintenance

Glad it helped. You can copy over at least your prefs (/Library/Application Support/Gnucash/books - I'm on a Mac so it'll be a different path on Windows) and saved reports (saved-reports-2.8) but the backup section in the wiki should cover all this off. I think there's also a File Locations
