I am not an accountant, so this is not an official recommendation. When I make a contribution to a qualified charity, I put the acknowledgement in a folder to hand to my accountant at tax time. In GnuCash I enter a transaction to record the transfer of some (usually) cash asset to Charity. For y

I assume that you mean the debits do not equal the credits rather than that GnuCash failed to generate the report. This is commonly the result of selling a commodity for a different price than what was originally paid without correctly accounting for the profit or loss. One technique to close in

Adrien, In the second transaction you received $150 for the stock which you had paid $100 for. The extra $50 is income which came from the changed value of the stock. The sale would not reduce the value of the stock to zero unless the profit is taken from unrealized gain. That unrealized gain

If you sold an asset that is valued in units other than your currency then read the chapter of the manual about capital gains about how to enter your profit. Otherwise tell us more about the transaction where that profit appeared. David C On Fri, Jul 27, 2018, 4:11 AM H M MacDonald OBE wrote:
