I've searched and searched over the past couple of days, looking for some assistance in how to record a transaction in GnuCash. I hope I can find some answers here.
Over a period of many years I acquired a significant number of shares in a company I'll call TechCo. I'm selling off some of the shares to avoid having an uncomfortable concentration of assets in that corporation. For (U.S.) tax purposes I specified to my broker specific lots to sell so as to minimize the capital gains hit. Most investors apparently use other conventions: FIFO (first in, first out), LIFO (last in ...) average basis. All are permissible. FIFO is apparently the GnuCash preference, since it seems to be the only one that will auto-generate a capital gains calculation. I have searched GC's documentation and the mailing list and, for good measure, Reddit and YouTube. However, I have not found an example or a clear description of how to get my transaction into the program. Thanks for any help you can offer. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
