Ken,

One issue that may be of concern to you is the way Gnucash tracks capital
gains.  It cannot follow tax law definitions exactly by default as that
requires tracking expenses such as fees in a very complex way to apply
partial fees to the cost basis when partial closing transactions occur.

Many users track cost basis separately, especially if they have "lots" of
transactions [pun intended].  See discussions about lot tracking for more
details.

I do not understand. Are you saying that transactions entered using old fashioned pen and ink on paper bookkeeping could not follow tax law definitions?

Because ANYTHING you could do pen and ink on paper you could do using gnucash.
