Re: Tax Sched report duplicates accounts
Ted, I see some of the oddities with the date controls as well. I will note that I do not observe any duplication in the report, and neither do I get two years’ data incorporated. What I see with the dates is that the two settings are applied separately. So if you have the From and To entries set to Previous Year and Alternate Period to Last Year, it will give you two years ago (that is, the Last Year from the Previous Year). If you have both date controls in use, some other limits appear to apply as well. For example, a "Last Year" Alternate Period setting limits the report to a full year report, regardless of the From - To settings. That is, if you use Previous Quarter in From and To, it doesn’t change the report. If you want a report for a shorter or variant time period, then you can set the Alternate period to Use From - To. Reset defaults works for me. Can you explain what happens when you click it?

Re: Tax Sched report duplicates accounts
For year 2015 There is an apparent conflict between options>general>>from >>to buttons and alternate period drop down box It works fine if alternate period>>is not "last year" but is set to >>"use from to" if left as the default "last year" ; the "last year" setting creates the problem of duplication and incorrectly adds in 2014 to 2015 I.e. the reset defaults box/button doesn't work properly either.. I hope this helps email if more info needed tedc From: Alex Aycinena Sent: Tuesday, February 9, 2016 1:53 PM To: gnucash-devel; Ted Creedon Subject: Re: Tax Sched report duplicates accounts -- Forwarded message -- From: Ted Creedon mailto:tcree...@easystreet.net>> To: "gnucash-devel@gnucash.org<mailto:gnucash-devel@gnucash.org>" mailto:gnucash-devel@gnucash.org>> Cc: Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2016 19:12:54 + Subject: Tax Sched reoprt duplicates accounts Depending on the General tab settings the report duplicates accounts 2x or 3x gc ver 2.6.11 on 86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux tedc Can you provide more information?
