I think it would be problematic from an error correction standpoint not to include them. It's just as easy to inadvertently post-date an entry as to make a mistake that dates the transaction earlier than it should have been. It would be "invisible" during reconciliation if dates later than the closing date were excluded.

Gnucash could cutoff any transactions whose date is after the closing date. However, I will say that I have gotten used to this little quirk and since I import most of my monthly transactions (and the financial institution knows how to cut off transactions beyond the closing date) using QFX, when I reconcile the needed transactions have already been checked and the ones after the closing have not. Even though in a manual reconciliation you wouldn't even look at transactions after the closing date, it does no harm to include them.

The reconciliation date may include entries that you've entered with later dates, and how would GnuCash determine the proper cutoff? Personally, I don't have trouble determining when the difference figure goes to 0. David T.
