Yes, it is a third-level account, and it also works when I just select the two parent accounts (without changing the "Show Accounts until level" setting). So now I know two ways to fix it. :) - 619-663-7819 www.danedormio.com On Thu, Dec 14, 2017 at 10:10 PM, Derek Atkins

If you have set the accounts as tax-related, why wouldn't you use the Tax Schedule Report?   This works rather well, especially if you assign specific tax lines to your accounts. See chapter 10 of the help for detailed instructions.  David On Fri, Dec 15, 2017 at 13:17,
