Hi Khristine... With our 529 plans, the price we pay for new shares is more than the "current" price for the share, e.g. we pay $1.10 for a share with a current value of $1.00!
Have you accounted for this difference in your GnuCash transaction, e.g. $.10 per share, expensed to a broker fee or some such? This would reduce your GnuCash total to what would be on the website..
