The Redstreet long/short plugin splits single capital gains legs into short
and long term legs.
In an 8949 style report, one should report assets held for short or long
term separately. This might be faciliated by a plugin that cleaves the
transaction rather than just the income leg, e.g. from:
2014-02-01 * "Buy"
Assets:Brokerage 100 ORNG {1 USD}
Assets:Bank -100 USD
2016-02-01 * "Buy"
Assets:Brokerage 100 ORNG {2 USD}
Assets:Bank -200 USD
2016-03-01 * "Sell"
Assets:Brokerage -100 ORNG {1 USD} @ 2.50 USD
Assets:Brokerage -100 ORNG {2 USD} @ 2.50 USD
Assets:Bank 500 USD
Income:Capital-Gains
to:
2014-02-01 * "Buy"
Assets:Brokerage 100 ORNG {1 USD}
Assets:Bank -100 USD
2016-02-01 * "Buy"
Assets:Brokerage 100 ORNG {2 USD}
Assets:Bank -200 USD
2016-03-01 * "Sell"
Assets:Brokerage -100 ORNG {1 USD} @ 2.50 USD
Assets:Bank 250 USD
Income:Capital-Gains:Long
2016-03-01 * "Sell"
Assets:Brokerage -100 ORNG {2 USD} @ 2.50 USD
Assets:Bank 250 USD
Income:Capital-Gains:Short
I'm not especially happy with this idea since it loses the fact that it
really was one single transaction.
Any other thoughts/opinions?
