I've been using expense accounts based on year to show money taken out of 
my paycheck for taxes, but I don't like how the reporting works when 
dealing with other expenses.

I'm thinking of putting taxes in a liability account, but not sure if that 
makes sense:

account lia:taxes:2017:federal:income
account lia:taxes:2017:state:income
account lia:taxes:2018:federal:income
account lia:taxes:2018:federal:medicare
account lia:taxes:2018:federal:ss
account lia:taxes:2018:state:income

2018-05-04=2018-05-04 * company
    ; note: salary
    ass:cash:checking                       2,073.33 USD
    lia:taxes:2018:federal:income           354.69 USD
    lia:taxes:2018:federal:ss               167.92 USD
    lia:taxes:2018:federal:medicare         39.27 USD
    lia:taxes:2018:state:income             73.12 USD
    inc:salary                             -2,708.33 USD

At the end of the year, how would I zero this liability account?

2018-04-10=2018-04-10 * irs


How do you handle taxes? Do you separate them by year? What account do you 
use for them?
