10:29:08 <David1012> I'm back. Regarding stock sales transactions. After much experimentation I have found that for one income account the trial balance fails but for another income account the trial balance works
10:29:21 <David1012> Why?
10:30:50 <David1012> Do I need to create a new income account to replace the seemingly bad account?
10:34:32 <warlord> I dont understand.. How do these income accounts differ?
10:34:51 * warlord has never used the Trial Balance report
10:37:40 <David1012> I have both income accounts under investment income, one is for taxable capital gains, the other is for non-taxable capital gains. Both are definitely of the income type and are in us currency
10:38:32 <David1012> the only other difference is a couple of intermediate accounts in the asccount chart
10:40:26 <David1012> I picked up the tip to use trial balance report to verify correct capital gains amounts in a recent email in the gnucash user maillist
10:41:35 <David1012> that was probably 2 or 3 weeks ago
10:46:55 <David1012> the account report shows no error in either of the stock accounts where I tested
10:47:33 <David1012> that is when values are shown, they balance out
10:50:31 <warlord> Trial balance only goes out of balance due to currency/commodity changes.. So an income account itself wont cause it; it has to come by a mixed transactions (stock sale, etc)
10:52:10 <David1012> well, that is supposed to be how it works, but here the report changes when I use a different income account
10:52:35 <David1012> in the same sale transaction
10:54:39 <warlord> That makes no sense to me
10:54:50 <warlord> What does your sale transaction look like?
10:55:15 <David1012> me either. should I try yet another income account?
10:56:20 <warlord> I dont see how changing the income account would affect the trial balance, unless the trial balance isnt set up correctly.
10:56:48 <warlord> Did you have an existing trial balance report that you started before you created a new income account?
10:57:52 <David1012> It has lines for sale, capital gain in the stock account, capital gain in a income account, commission also a line for other and the parent brokerage account
10:58:34 *** aqua___ has joined #gnucash
11:00:50 <David1012> I have built sample transactions dated several years ago switched them between two different stock accounts and reload the same trial balance after changing various accounts
11:03:05 <warlord> David1012: try restarting the report from the Reports menu..
11:03:13 <warlord> ... instead of using an existing report.
11:07:00 <David1012> when the test transactions are in either stock account the trial balance is is balanced on the sale date when my qualified plans capital gains income account is used, but not with the taxable gains income account
11:07:34 <David1012> I cannot start a new trial balance when one os open
11:07:46 <David1012> hmm....
11:08:44 <David1012> oh, yes I did, but now I need to change the date
11:12:45 <David1012> watching the little circle...
11:14:21 <David1012> curious. the two reports for the same date disagree
11:17:00 <David1012> the new report shows balance, the old one refreshed is out of balance at the same time
11:21:56 <warlord> Yep, because the old one doesn't include all the new accounts
11:25:28 <David1012> scrolling through the accounts on the old report, I see the taxable cg account is not selected.
11:26:57 <David1012> I didn't know that refreshing the report would not pick that up when I had left account selection at default
11:27:55 *** aqua_ has joined #gnucash
11:28:04 <David1012> Thank you!
11:31:05 <David1012> I feel a lot better now. It will take a while for all my hair to grow back though. Thanks again!
