If I had a vote, I’d say keep one and just delete the other entirely. Even a ’see also’ is just clutter. As to which name to keep, the easiest and likely most discoverable is “Income Statement”.

Alternatively, and this would require a RFE, would be to have it named according to the Chart of Accounts created by the First Start Wizard, e.g.—non-profit orgs I believe use “Statement of Financial Performance” and a publicly traded for-profit is more likely to use “Earnings Statement”, though this is likely going to be complicated by locale due to jurisdictional requirements. Perhaps prompting the user for a desired name would work best here, with a sane default like “Income Statement.”
Perhaps this naming concern is a non-issue. If the menu item reads, Income Statement, the report options allow a different name to be entered as the saved/printed report title so non-profits cound enter “Statement of Financial Performance,” for-profits could enter "Earnings Statement," and there might even be a way to set these titles as the default.
p.s. — adjusting for inflation from the days of real dollars and cents, your 2¢ is probably more like $1. (or more accurately, 1 bank note with the words “ONE DOLLAR” printed on it)
I was being conservative. :-) Remember how people confused the Anthony dollar coin for quarters? I was looking for something else and found two half-dollars stuck away in my chest of drawers. I wondered why we've not seen them for a long time. When I gave a sales clerk one as part of my purchase payment he asked, "What is this?" I told him it's a half-dollar, just as it says on it and is worth 50 cents. The second coin was accepted, elsewhere, without question by an older clerk.
