Return of Capital
This refers to a transaction where an investment returns capital to the
investor and doesn't have any accounting implications other than reducing
the cost basis. The number of shares held is not changed.
A Return of Capital transaction can be entered in the stock register by
entering the stock split with
Shares 0
Price 0
Sell Return of Capital value
The other side of the double entry would usually be a debit to the
brokerage bank account.
Attached is a screen shot of the account with the buy, rtn of cap, sell.
The capital gain shown is what Quicken calculated (not Gnucash).
