Yes, that would be preferred. We will also need a field to hold .TXF
identification information. I havn't totally worked out exactly what
this will be yet, that is my next project. Tax eXchange Format (TXF)
files are used to transfer data between money programs (Quicken, MYM, MS
Money) and tax programs (TaxCut, TurboTax) If anyone has a source for
the TXF spec, I could use it. I contacts several companies that sell
tax and money programs and have either gotten no response or they denied
they had a spec.

The problem is in the scheme code. I was using some of the functions in
date-utilities. There are soom notes in my tax.scm code indicating the
bug and my work aroud. Search for "from-value" and 'to-value"

Once we have the new XML file format, we will have the ability to

we've been planning to add is a 'tax-related' flag for accounts (and
maybe transactions and or splits?) that you can toggle in the account

Were you talking about decrementing years in the GUI or in scheme
code? If the latter, try clearing the daylight savings flag in the
tm struct before you call mktime. You also might look at
src/scm/date-utilities.scm for anything useful.
