Hi Ruaraidh, Until a few years ago, my wife and I were both required to submit returns. There were some individual items to report and some "joint" items. I had 3 books in GC - Me, Her, Us. I ran the income / expense etc reports for Me, and then Us. divide the numbers from Us by 2 and add that to the totals from Me to get to what is to be reported on the tax return. Generally, I think it was only bank interest that needed to be split, so in reality only a couple of calculations were needed. YMMV, of course. HTH, Maf. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
