Interesting. We use scheduled transactions to project future income and a spreadsheet to estimate tax payments.

We track distributions from traditional retirement accounts as deferred
income by adding a pair of balanced splits to the transfer transaction.

For example:

Assets:Banking:Checking         100.00
Assets:Investing:IRA                    100.00
Income:Deferred                 100.00
Income:Deferred:IRA                     100.00

Income:Deferred:IRA is flagged as "Tax Related" with the "F1099-R IRA total
dist - taxable" TXF category.

Your accounts are going to balance with this approach, sure. But I'm
entering RMD as a liability when it becomes known, with a January 1 date, to
track it within the bookkeeping program as there are taxes to pay.
