I do not know whether this is proper accounting or not, but I use an
artificial expense account "Conversion to Taxable". Any withdrawal X
dollars from an IRA or other pre-tax asset account gets some extra split
entries.
Credit IRA X
Credit Taxable Income IRA X
Debit Conversion to Taxable X
Debit post-tax account (bank, Roth,...) X

The only purpose is to expose the taxable income.
