I should look at using this feature in that case. I do at times end up having 
accountant fix the tax filings before submitting as I review all the math for 
it – effectively doing one’s own taxes. Accounts are setup like the structure 
you mentioned so it might be just matter of designating for TXF report.

 

I end up doing reconciliation with pen and paper for Divs, Short and Long Term 
Cap gains. My activities are not that extensive enough that it is burden sum 
using pen and paper though.

While that is true, individuals file their taxes as well, and individuals also 
provide these figures. The commercial ($$$) tax preparation providers will 
process the 1099s, but if one does ones own taxes, or if one wishes to verify 
the accuracy of their own data with their brokers' data, then using the TXF 
report can help. 

I, for one, like to know that my books agree with the broker's.

As a side note, in the States, its broker-dealers job to track the realized

You can have multiple copies of the same report open at the same time, and then 
change the option to match the time range you are interested of in each. You 
can export each into html format to open it in Excel or equivalent, and do post 
analysis as you like ...

The Advanced Portfolio is close to what I want, but gives me the numbers over 
the entire time I have owned the securities.
Is there some way I can modify the report to show the *difference* between the 
end of year results for two consecutive years?
If this requires learning scheme, I would appreciate being referred to a good 
tutorial (preferably a document, not a video).
I found some useful info here:
https://gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-manual/report-create.html
but am surprised that no one else has addressed this, as I imagine it would be 
needed for tax reporting.
