Thank you for the discussion. To clarify, these ETFs are index funds: https://www.vanguard.com.au/personal/invest-with-us/etf?portId=8205&tab=prices-and-distributions I don't see the point of entering the attribution values since they don't exist in the bank statement or tax return.
A contra account seems to handle funny-money (ie unreal transactions) in reports. The link in my first post explains how I moved the last distribution into the correct tax year with a conta transaction. I'm more inclined to think the tax amounts are somehow contra transactions using the tax codes as descriptions.
