It *might* be a GnuCash bug, but of course, others would need to confirm this behavior. That seems more like a facility of Windows than something for which GnuCash is responsible. And as noted, fixing it only applies to clean OS shutdowns/reboots. Nothing catches the case of a power outage,

Chris & Michael have both offered sound advice. I'll add towards your question of individual item tracking, simply create sub-accounts under Assets:Fixed Assets for each one, and the parent Fixed Assets should be empty. And no, they don't belong under Equity, they are Assets. The other side

There are still scenarios where a power outage happens or the user shuts Windows down thinking all programs are safely closed when that is not true, as two of innumerable examples. On Mon, Jan 16, 2023 at 4:14 PM R Losey wrote: > You wrote "if shutting down GnuCash" - do you mean shutting down

You wrote "if shutting down GnuCash" - do you mean shutting down Windows while GnuCash is running with an unsaved file? It's nice that Windows notes if LibreOffice is running, but I always assume I'll lose data if I shut down with unsaved files and I normally close down everything I'm running

I think you are probably correct about the penalty showing on the 1099 as a combined amount though I swear I read something about the penalty amount on interest "showing to the right". Beats heck out of me where I read that but I can't find it now. OH WELL! I should get the 1099 pretty soon

Hi, If I were you, I would ask your accountant to give you the balance sheet as of 28/2/2022, or better still the detailed trial balance (called Account Summary in GnuCash reports). Those closing balances would then become the opening balances as of 1/3/2022. You will need those numbers if are
