Good morning Barry,
Regarding entering transactions into gnucash: I import QFX files that
I download monthly.
I migrated from Quickbooks and Quicken more than a decade ago (I last
ordered Quicken in 2008),
Both are Intuit products, but QuickBooks and

That is a question best answered to your satisfaction and understanding
by using the software.
Download the Manual and the Tutorial & Concepts guide, launch GnuCash
and start playing around a bit. (enter manually at first and hold off on
downloads and imports until you get familiar with the

When I said personal accounting I oversimplified.

That means we have 3 bank accounts and six credit cards for a total of 9

How does Gnucash allow me display my source accounts separately?

For the record, the US tax features in GnuCash function by assigning accounts
to specific tax lines, much like your approach.
It's helpful insofar as it guides your accounting decisions (what types of
entries I need to track for tax purposes, etc.), but it doesn't make your
decisions for you.
GNC expects precise info while exported QIF file may not
have it or may have it wrong.

I've been frustrated using Quicken for years. Maybe GNUcash will do what I
want.
My list of functions is small:
I use Quicken for personal accounting, mainly to categorize transactions for
tax reporting.
Can GNUcash do these things:
- import data from a Quicken QDF file as a starting point.
