If you use GnuCash reports in preparing your returns you can set the report's
currency in options. Note that you need to have at least one exchange rate
between the two currencies in your price database. Note that for most reports
you'll want to set the price source to nearest in time and that that will pick
the price closest to the report date or the report ending date; it does not
evaluate a rate for each transaction on the transaction date. You'll probably
want to enter a rate manually as the spot market rate retrieved by
Finance::Quote is unlikely to be the one you need.
