Re "the attribution values [...] don't exist in the [...] tax return": On the contrary, the attribution values from Part B are exactly what drives the values that end up at the various labels in the Australian tax return as detailed in Part A of the AMIT statement.

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 accou

Hi flywire, A couple of comments before I get into the meat of my response: - What you're asking about here is somewhat specific to Australia, and the details may not be applicable to other jurisdictions. - I'm not an accountant, so I'm not sure how an accountant would respond to this

I thought one was already opened. (but I admit I didn't search for it) If I recall correctly, it has to do with refreshing the register view. This seems to happen with registers that are left open at the last close and which re-open before the Since Last Run dialog fires. Though hitting [Ente
