Stan,
I'm certainly not trying to convince anyone of any procedure, but for
those interested, what you describe about the Accounts page without
running a report is achievable without closing the books.
Adding the column 'Total (period)' to the Accounts page will show only
the current accounting period (by default 'this year') totals for
Expenses & Income.
Of course, the balance in the account register is still from the
beginning of the book in that case. (as is the default 'Total' column on
the Accounts tab)
Regards,
Adrien

I close my books each year so that the balances in my income and expense

prior-year reports or some reason it would be slightly awkward; but
that's minor against the convenience (for me) of being able to see
year-to-date income in the Accounts page and in the registers of the
individual accounts. That's faster than pulling a report, at least for me.
