I'm guessing your understanding of how to use GNUCash is sufficient to 
accomplish whatever is best for your situation. Your question is more about 
what's best for your situation, and while you did not mention it directly, you 
also want to make sure that the information that you get is worth the cost of 
obtaining it. Sometimes people have reasons for tracking things, but the 
information is not worth its cost.

If you're talking about substantial tax liability, then I suggest talking to 
someone who has the skill and knowledge to minimize your tax bill. That same 
person should be able to give some guidance as to how to best account based on 
your specific situation, including when your taxes will be owing and due.
